Day 2, passage 2
Well what a day!  First thing we couldn't leave the marina because we were stuck in the mud! No warning from the marina that the visitors moorings had not been dredged.  So we didn't leave at 8.30 as intended, but at 9.20.  It was quite dramatic trying to get out of the mud, with probably limited water and the wind pushing us into the boat moored behind us.  Unfortunately, we tapped it, but nothing dramatic.  When we finally got out, there were problems putting the main up.  Five of the cars which hold the main to the mast had come out.  So that had to be sorted.  Then there were problems with getting no signal from the GPS.  Fortunately we have a second one, so we used that until we could get a proper signal Finally got underway proper, but we were an hour behind our schedule.   Although it was sunny, not a terribly exciting trip

So we are now sitting in the marina, just about to check out the weather to decide if we are off tomorrow. Very sunny and warm, although we are now experiencing a rather cool fresh wind.

Forgot to say that yesterday a shackle came off the main sheet attachment to the traveller.  Not just came off, but snapped in half!  Fortunately, Perry had a spare.  Let's see what happens tomorrow.
