Sandy Bay to Hay Bay - north of Picton July 9/12

passing thru Telegraph Narrows

bridges every where

have you ever laid on the deck of your boat ...

and watched the mast pass under said bridge ...

what a rush !!!

a beautiful old cottage on Long Reach ... not too sure

about swimming here

some sail boats on the hard ... being worked on

the end of Long Reach .... I now know why it is

called  Long Reach  ...  heading to our anchorage

it was bed sheet, laundry day

the individual 4 cushions in the V-berth bottom sheets where

easy to wash and hang to dry

the large top sheet, did not fit on the life lines ...

so we had to hang it on the boom

This was a good place for laundry ... in an area with farmers

fields and no close houses.

JULY 9, 2012

Sandy Bay to Hay Bay

We had a good night sleep, but the wind changed to more east  and we had a 

steady roll coming into the bay.  Not bad, but rocking a bit.

All the laundry was dry by morning.  After pancakes and strawberries we set out to sail to our next destination

There was not much wind and what we had was right on the nose ... so we motored

for 3 1/2 hours.

Telegraphy Narrows, Deseroto, Long Reach .. we headed to Hay Bay, Witlow Point.

(Brian and Elaine Mundle had it marked on their chart as a quiet anchorage).

We needed to do some washing of our bedding ... so we thought we could use the bay water, but it had little creatures swimming around in the water.  We decided to use our precious drinking water to wash and rinse the sheets.

Hanging them out to dry was a bit of a challenge for the queen size top sheet. But the 4 individual bottom sheets where easy to wash and dry.
