Well the wind arrived and it would have been foolhardy to try to use the dinghy. We had already deflated it and lashed it on deck as we didn’t want it taking off. We were at anchor with three other yachts and they didn’t seem keen to go anywhere either. There was very little sailing going on. The wind howled with occasional rain squalls. Not sure if it was a gale but it was definitely very breezy. Happily our anchor held firm a with 40 metres of chain deployed so we were pretty secure. We did a lot of reading!!!
