1015-ETA 1500, plan to anchor in outer harbor. Had the munchies so had an apple, cheese and some nuts.
1130-Since I ate some earlier, had some beer and chips for lunch. Try to have some healthy food at least once a day whether I need it or not! Hot, hot, hot! 89F in and out. Wind died, no sailing. Left the main up for now.
1530-Secure in anchorage. Will have another snack.

1800-Lots of rock and roll in the anchorage, it is Saturday and everyone with some type of watercraft is churning up the waters. Maybe anchoring was not such a good idea?
1900-Showered in the cockpit. A rain shower chased all the boaters in. Enjoying some red wine before bed. Will get to be early. Got only 5 hours of sleep last night!
