Otto Reef

Today we weighed anchor around 0715hrs – destination to Otto Reef to see if we can catch a few fish. Motor sailed the distance. Crossed the shipping lane and had to give way to a couple of freighters. As we approached the reef we spotted a large number of sea birds catching dinner. Something was rounding the fish to the surface.

That evening we went aboard Cool Change and enjoyed a lovely smoked fish dinner with fresh fish that Linny had caught. The evening turned very choppy with a strong northerly coming in. It was quite a challenge getting back onto Anais from the dinghy. She was rolling extremely wildly. Had an uncomfortable night anchored on a reef with a 30 knot blowing.
