Every year we get to have an adventure, and today we hope to have completed this years. We anchored last night in Manson Bay, where we have not been. There's a state park here, and a warning about an estuary that extends out from an inner lagoon. so we anchored well away from both lagoon and estuary. Everything was fine until this morning, when the wind switched around to the north and blew us, ever so gently, onto the end of the estuary. Our bow had plenty of water beneath it, but unfortunately, the stern did not. So here you see what a beautiful bottom Tamarisk has! We went aground about two hours before the low, achieved a maximum angle of 45 degrees (lots of stuff moves around in the boat when you're at that angle, let me tell you!), and en gradually righted ourselves as the tide came back in. We floated back off about 1:15 pm, none the worse for wear (we hope). On we go to other places.
