winlink 0535

This area off Rolleville is wide open, with swell and wind chop, so it is rather active. It is sand bars with deeper fingers between them. I threaded my way in between the sandbars as close to Rolleville as I could get and still float, then grounded against a sandbar, dropped the anchor, and reversed back into what I hoped woujld be deeper water (7' deep instead of 6'deep) I missed just a little so I drifted back into not so deep water and stayed grounded until late. I set another anchor so that when the tide rose I would drift into deeper water. I think it worked. It is 05:30, almost low tide, and I am still floating. I like it better when she floats. I feel trapped when aground. Also the movement is funny, jerky.
  Now raining, 15 knots registering. Today will be an adventure.
