description
Easy to anchor and glued in wind from the north. There were some waves in the evening as the locals came home from work. They just drive the boats right onto land at high speed. You can hear when the engines go out of the water.
The wind has turned to the east, anchored well but with a bit more choppy sea. It was blowing about 8-10 m/s yesterday when we arrived and it rained the entire evening, so we didn't go ashore. We hope to do that today.
