Day 1

An evening in the eastern bay

A short passage, a pause in the track and an unhurried evening at anchor.

Our view on arrival.

We left the harbour after breakfast and followed the coast towards the eastern bay. The passage gave us time to settle into the day.

Along the coast

There is a gap in the saved track. We kept the recorded sections separate rather than drawing an assumed passage between them.

No hurry today. Find a quiet place for the evening.

Edited extract from the demonstration voice note
  • Choose the anchorage before the light fades.
  • Keep the saved route alongside the written account.

At anchor

The evening was ours to enjoy. We chose the photographs and shaped the notes into this account while the details were still fresh.
