Portland Roads to Hannibal Island

0015hrs: woke up to our anchor dragging and very uncomfortable sea state.  

  • Decision made to begin our days sailing early at 0030hrs.  
  • Navigated by charts through the reef crossing the shipping channel twice.  Avoided two ships and first light bee were in sight of the Home Islands.
  • Wind began at 20 kts and then dropped off through the day
  • Only used the yacht’s Genoa in the dark.  Hoisting the main after passing the Home Islands
  • Lots of fish chopping up from the Home Islands to Hannibal Island.

1230hrs: Arrived at Hannibal Island and anchored off the sand spit
