Looking at the forecast and tide, l needed to get Elektra back into Carne Creek by 1100hrs because of strong east wind on Monday.
So l pulled up the anchor at 0930hrs, l had the engine running just in case it was needed, but it wasn’t. Unrolling the genoa Elektra was logging 1.8-2kts and with the chart plotter saying we would arrive in Gillan at 1230hrs, it didn’t take me long to start her engine again and motor her across Falmouth Bay.
I motored Elektra into Gillan Harbour at 1030hrs and on into Carne Creek, where l dropped anchor.
