25th Sep Stonehaven to Saba Bay 9nm



We did not sleep well although the anchorage was quite smooth all night and no wind. We had breakfast and motored out to Langford Island and stayed on a mooring for several hours while I updated the Blog on a very weak Telstra internet signal. Cannot believe they would not provide better coverage with all the traffic around the islands. There was not enough signal to upload photos so will do that at a later date. The northwest wind started to increase so we slipped the mooring and headed to Saba Bay.

 White water heading to Saba. The tide can be up to 3 knots going around this point.,
 The hoop pine trees are amazing how they can grow on the rocks
We arrived in time for lunch and had a relaxing afternoon. The wind died about 4pm and I decided we would stay the night. About 14 other yachts agreed the same decision. I went fishing for an hour to try and catch that elusive coral trout, but returned with 5 stripey perch.
