After a bouncy night in St Marys Harbour We departed early for a new anchorage south of the Island of St Martins. This is a large area of drying sand. at L.A.T. on the chart but only just.

After much deliberation, checking and double checking tidal depths, I reckoned we would remain afloat even at low tide, which, hurrah, proved to be the case.
There was an added advantage to this location. It was only a100 yds from the beach, and then only 150 yds away from the Vineyard we had booked to visit and finally another 100yds to where we were having lunch.
A short way down the beach a Seal Colony resides so we gently rowed down to see them. They are used to people and boats and came quite close. although still a little camera shy.
