An evening at "Secret Cove"

We departed Gibson's about 10 am and headed north. The infamous "sound" still plagues us. We will experiment by not using the "autopilot" to see if that could possibly be the problem. We put up the sails and moved along at about 6.5 knots. The five hours flew by as we soaked in the beauty of the coastline. We pulled in at "Secret Cove" and was greeted by the friendly staff.
Their restaurant was only open Friday - Monday but they recommended "Lord Jim's". A van picked us up and took us the short distance. The view was spectacular and as you can see from the pictures so was our dinner. We returned before sunset and went for a dinghy ride around the lovely cove. A lone eagle flew above us searching for an evening snack. The crimson and violet hues of the sunset reflected a mirror image of the sky in the water. A cry of a gull broke the silence. We returned to the boat and thanked "Neptune" for our wonderful day. We fell asleep to the gentle rocking of the boat.
