Special Comments:

• As we approached the wall to our anchorage location, we saw another pod of dolphins. Sadly, no jumpers.
• Noticed two sailboats anchored in a restricted area by the anchorage wall entrance and channel.
• Portside neighbor CAT Kili.
• Within minutes of our anchorage we had thunderstorms and heavy rain. As we laid in bed winds picked up, Jacques relocated to the Pilothouse and noted winds to be 75mph. We swung in a tear drop shape. Fortunately, not long lasting.
• Departing our anchorage as I was distracted by a beautiful jellyfish on the water surface.
