True Blue Bay, Grenada
11.59.955N

There was a little bit of a roll during the night, so we put out a stern anchor as opposed to a swell bridle. The difference between the two is that the stern anchor pretty much holds you in place by sheer force whereas the swell bridle uses the wind to hold you into the swell. This little anchorage is fairly protected so there is only the slightest of breezes and not enough to hold us in place. Since we’re the only inhabited boat in here at the moment, throwing a stern anchor out isn’t a problem. If and when others arrive, they’ll either have to do the same or we’ll all have to be more cognizant of wind direction to make sure we don’t bump in the night.

Mike & Sara on Wayfinder moved around to this anchorage today and took a slip at the little marina. We visited with them for a while after they were settled in and made our plans for the island tour. Buddy & Melissa decided to pass on the tour since their boat is being hauled out for a few days and they’re heading back to the States for a quick visit during that time.
