Argo has been cleansed of her salty coat, the water tanks have been refilled, supplies have been replenished, and the crew have soaked off all of their dirt and grime.
It is time to move on.
The day is a good one for sailing.
The wind is mostly behind us and it is the best gentle sailing that we have had. 
There are many dolphin spottings but they are difficult to capture on camera; by the time they have crested through the wake of our dingy my little red camera is still focusing on the ripple they have left behind. 
Our destination is Beaufort and it has a pretty little town but is very crowded.
We go aground RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the channel coming into the harbour and are pulled free by a good samaritan.
Our stress levels did not end there unfortunately.
The anchorage was so crowded it was like the Mall parking lot the week before Christmas. We tried to squeeze into place and put down the anchor but got stuck on another boat's anchor line and ended up pulling that boat into our own. Chas had to get into the dingy and untangle the lines and pull up the anchor into the dingy. We finally decided to tie up to a private mooring ball and that worked out perfectly.
After all the exercise, the spagetti dinner tasted delicious.
