We took the drone for a spin around our last anchorage in the AM, and then @David and I spent two evenings anchored near Secret Beach and the Mōliʻi fishpond. The mountains here are spectacular. No photos or videos can do it justice. The anchorage is shallow and spacious, but we were the only ones there. If we had a shallower keel, we could bring the boat right up to the beach, but there’s a sandbar that prevents us from getting inside unless there’s an unusually high tide. We made plenty of trips to shore on the dink for Porter to run and look for crabs. The south winds definitely made the runs to shore interesting. Had some friends aboard for dinner on Monday night and left out a few crab traps (no dice). Around midnight, heavier south winds and rain filled in and strengthened into the morning. We spent Tuesday getting some cleaning and work done. Wish we could have stayed here longer, but it’s time to head back to town for work! Already can’t wait to return!
