Dawn revealed a quieter Willy T than last night.
Morning shampoo hanging off the davits.
Rainbow over the anchorage.
We began a lusty sail up the Drake.
After our first tack, we were surprised to see the Costa Fortuna still in port. I found out later that they had "technical difficulties" which apparently did not include running aground.
We passed Salt Island where some divers were inspecting the Rhone.
The next tack revealed that this boat tacks through something like 150 degrees. That's when we started motoring upwind. We dropped the sails which required a bit of persuasion to get the mainsail fully down.
We prepared to pick up a mooring off Cooper.
Everyone into the pool.
This is the life.
I swam ashore for a look.
Cooper Island cocktail table.
The pool mats are great.
We went snorkeling off Cistern Rock.
Relaxing on the tramp afterward.
The Cooper Island Beach Club is a great place for dinner as we remembered from two years ago.
Although we had a generator and air conditioning, we preferred the quieter tradewinds for comfort.
We had happy hour on the front porch
and watched the sunset from our cocktail table.
We wanted to use our provisions before spoilage since our refrigerator was malfunctioning so we ate onboard that night.
