Bad sleep!

 

Well the anchorage was beautiful but the wave action wasn’t. Rolling all night with commensurate noise but the main thing was that the anchor went down and up with out a hitch . Never a forgone conclusion. Feeling as rough as Portsmouth prostitute after an American aircraft carrier has visited, mainly due to getting up and checking the anchor in between being bounced around accompanied by creaking and banging. Departed at 9 am with 13 kt winds and blue sky. Now wallowing under blue sky but 7 kt wind! Sailed most of the way towards Ile de Re passed it and arrived in La Rochelle at 10.15 pm . Bastards wouldn’t answer the radio ended up against a pink light jetty for the night

 but at least my little dog and Jane were waiting for us. Much needed good night’s sleep.
