Beautiful day! We knew the wind was going to be rough for the next couple of days so we had heard this anchorage was well protected. By the time the 4 of us arrived we had 11 boats anchored with us, so I guess it is well known as a good place to duck out of the weather.

A light beacon, not a light house, (bad camera day)

We saw a couple of other Loopers leaving the same anchorage. We dropped anchor around 11:30 and Mike dropped the dingy shortly thereafter. He was anxious to do some fishing. 

We fixed steaks on the grill just before it started to rain, read a little and off to bed.

Monday, the winds really picked up like we thought; 20 mph. There were 5 foot seas out in the bay, so we stayed put. Mike did a little more fishing, caught a bass we cooked for dinner. I read and watched a little TV and had popcorn I'd been craving. 

Large mouth bass for dinner.

Lori came over and we had a mini planning session where we were headed the next few days. We saw bald eagle soar around the boats, it was so cool. I messed up the settings on the camera so don't really have very good photos of these 2 days. So I used the best ones I had.

Wish this photo was better, it was so cool and so close!

Sweet T at 10 pm!
