Up at 06:00. Hot night, even with the windscoop. Came up on deck to find us pointing to the west, which is even more unusual than pointing to the south.
Some small entertainment on the ‘Sailing’ channel – a charter yacht arrived around 06:10, dropped anchor, lifted anchor, moved, dropped anchor, lifted anchor, moved and then dropped anchor again.

Much better to drop anchor and some chain, tail back, let out chain, tail back, let out chain, gentle astern, check the anchor. Two ferries have headed for St. Vincent, along with an inter-island freighter.
