We lifted anchor and motor sailed to Border Island with 15kn SE. The bay had 3 moorings which were already taken, we were uncomfortable with anchoring as there were another 3 boats and it was a small bay with deep water. There were 2 moorings just outside the bay which were free.

The wind was gusting up to 20kn and it was a little uncomfortable, we saw a couple of boats leave but also some had arrived. We jumped in Time Spies and headed around to check the bay out and have a snorkel. As we got around the corner Times Spies lost some power, it seems that hitting the rock earlier may have caused some damage to the prop. We decided to head back to Time Flies, we also noticed a mooring was free.

We moved into the bay which was a little more comfortable and Dean inspected the prop, it seems the bush was quite worn. Another job to add to the list when next in port.

We had a great snorkel with lots of fish and soft corals.
