Monday 24 October Weigh the anchor

With the weather forecast showing winds ameliorating and the rugby concluded it was time to get back to cruising once more. Just after lifting the anchor and before we left the shelter of the harbour we heard Glen of Mystery Ship hailing Oso Blanco to see if we could all meet for the evening. Glen suggested a spot behind Mbo Kouen island. The sub 15 knots of wind in the forecast was actually 25 knots and the three of us hunkered behind a small sand island with a few trees. In settled conditions it would be superb as the water os clear. A turtle surfaced as we approaced.

It was dinner on Oso this evening with poor David getting soaked as he ferried us over and both of us getting wet on the way back. The wind howled 30 knots through the night.
