Day 18 - Click image for larger view
Finding an opening in the closest anchorage to town I jumped at the chance. With much less space to swing along so many different anchoring techniques it was difficult to judge. Observing wind and tide/current changes takes time. With a few adjustments to the chain rode I had Southern Light relatively safe, at least she cleared others by 10' at a minimum. Here I could reach the dinghy dock and scooter coral much more quickly. Scooters were first come, first serve, and in limited supply. By the end of the day I had locked one in for tomorrow morning.
I made a few dinghy trips into town and walked around but couldn't find a real grocery store. The best I could do was a very small market under a bus stop. Picked up some fresh milk along with a few other odds and ends and made my way back to Southern Light's fridge. I carried considerable amounts of dried and non-perishable milk but nothing beats fresh whole milk.
Mini Yacht Club in St.George. Bermuda buildings are amazingly colorful.
As far as I could tell, this sailboat "Olive Oyl" also had a solo skipper. I later noticed her at anchor in Horta Harbor, Faial, Azores but never got the chance to chat with her captain.
Always some maintenance and/or repairs to workout on a small boat.
Interesting to see old derelict vessels amongst sailing yachts.
This is the sailing yacht "Georgia" at night. Said to be built in Australia 2000, she was here at St.George's harbor wall in 2019.
