St Anthony’s

We get up early in St Julians, we consider sailing off the anchor but it is just too tight and the wind is funnelling. The early start is so we get into St Anthonys in time for shopping and hopefully a beer. As we go north the weather is becoming more and more un predictable and changes with a moments notice. We leave in 25 knots,south. perfect for down wind day before long it 2 knots then fog then as we arrive there is 30knts funnelling it of the harbour entrance and there s no way our engine will motor upwind against 30knts we get rid of the Genoa and have to sail, tacking under the main all the way to a sensible anchoring spot, as you might guess this was pretty stressful at the end of the day and Tarquin and I had to operate as a team, we did and it was reassuring . As soon as the anchour hit the bottom the end died . We opened a beer as we were too late for the shop. As always we decided to take this opportunity to fill the fuel tans and took our jerry cans ashore and go looking for a petrol station. It wasn’t long before a lift arrived. And drove us up the road to get the fuel and dropped us back at the quay. Luckily he pointed out all the bars en route. We filled the tanks and went to discover which bar was the best.
on the way back from the bar, we met a guy flying his drone he sent us a beautiful pic. Luckily you cant smell the fish plant as we can,Read more
