Mugfords blind tickle

We are heading to Hopedale. But there’s still plenty of ice around and we want to only sail in daylight where possible. Mugfords blind tickle is half way ish and will protect us from the predicted northerly winds. As always the description is vague and we will arrive as it begins to get dark. Absolutely unique and empty sail through the hundreds of island, we even stop to try and catch some fishy tea. Seems our early fishing luck has left us. No worries fridge still has plenty and it’s a beutiful day. Standard last hour of the day 25knot straight from where we want to go. So motor sail at the target. This is a bleak rock with a crack in it for us to hide. It offers a tiny pocket of lee from the sea and almost no lee from the wind. Anchour grabs and we are surrounded by rock only 2 boat lengths away in 3 directions. What could go wrong. I think I might sleep light tonight.Baca lagi
