Passage summary

A great sleep last night after two bottles of champagne and a culinary tour de force. This is an amazing anchorage. The visual beauty is just stunning. And for entertainment we've had pods of spinner dolphins swimming within 50yds of the boat, leaping out of the water, doing flips or spinning on their tails. Dazzling. Tomorrow we'll get motivated, inflate the dinghy and go ashore. Today we're just lazy on the boat enjoying the quiet.
