We left Shangri-la just to refill our tanks
with water and shop for provisions – and then we planned to high-tail it back
to this amazing anchorage for one more day, before heading to home port. We
also planned this to avoid the very high winds forecast for tomorrow.
What we didn’t anticipate were the huge
waves and wind blowing today onto the fuel dock! It knocked us around like a
bowling pin, while Jeff tried to fend off with his arms, and I kept retying the
fenders as the boat changed position on the dock. The blows to the side of the
boat dented the aluminum and rubber bumper, and as we were leaving, the heavy wind
pushed our stern back onto the dock posts, which grabbed our bar-b-que and
twisted it all out of shape. Truly one adventure we could have done without!
We decided to skip the shopping, and not
stay one minute more in that situation. So high-tail it back we did, and my
Captain promptly repaired the twisted Barbie J.
Tomorrow we just stay put … both my
computer and my watch have stopped working – maybe that’s a message….
