06/20/2008: "Estelle checking the anchor"

We always anchor Chaotic Harmony with a bridle - it stops the anchor grinding noise and reduces the swing so the chain never hits the hulls. Maewo has lots of rocks strewn over the anchorage and it was useful to have Estelle in the water when we up anchored after six days - to guide us around the rocks that we had wrapped. Fortunately the visibility was superb and we could see the bottom clearly 14 metres below. Estelle, Baden and Gavin also scuba dived the reef off Asinvari - huge fans, colorful fish and a 30m drop off teeming with life.
