The wind was gusting quite strong from about 2.30 a.m. and the boat was rolling quite badly. The wind increased and waves were starting to roll in through the entrance. About 11.30 a.m. a Marinero suggested we moved further into the anchorage as the wind was due to increase to 25 – 30 knots. We managed to find a space and for once the anchor set straight away.
Despite the strong winds a small local boat carried on regardless fishing between boats trying to reset their anchors and the ferry still took people out on ‘pleasure’ trips. A yacht called Arctic Fox had caught the chain of another yacht with its anchor and was dragging it along with it! The Marineros were excellent and helped them sort the problem out and checked everyone was safe.
