Motorsailed from Rosslyn Bay due to lack of wind

Land fall through the entrance was tighter than I remembered in Sorcerer and needs to be much closer to the southern shore than I remember.

Launched dinghy and boys went ashore to swim and walk on the beaches.]

18:00

 Dinner following drinks at sundowners was worth waiting for.  

Very quiet anchorage with good holding.  No wind overnight.
