August 25, Nettle Island

Only about 1.5 hour trip today. We left late and still got in and anchored before noon. That left the afternoon free for a long dinghy ride. We went around a lot of islands and islets, in and out of nooks and crannies. Traveled just over 8 miles in 2.5 hours. Before we left we grabbed the handheld GPS and marked the spot where the boat was anchored. It was good that we did this as it helped us find our way back home. Used up 2 tanks of gas in the little 2hp honda outboard. At full throttle our top speed is only 5 mph. So far this trip we have about 1000 pictures, will need to crop out some before we show anybody the photo album. Tomorrow we plan to move the boat to the next anchorage about 3.5 miles away. Very short trip.
