Day 3 - Burlington to Converse Bay
The day begins quietly with a good breakfast, an espresso and a bit of work. No cappuccino this morning: we still can’t find a good milk that froths and stays good for more than two days!
We work until our departure. The forecasts predicted practically no wind, but in the end the wind picks up. At 11:30 we therefore decide to leave.
We leave Burlington Bay with a wind of 10 to 12 knots close‑hauled. Then, as we sail, the wind veers and dies down gently to settle on a broad reach at only 4 or 5 knots.
A very calm sail, but surprisingly efficient despite the light wind. Eolo makes between 2 and 4 knots, quietly, without us really needing to do anything other than enjoy the moment.
Around 17:30, we arrive at Converse Bay, one of our favorite anchorages. We can finally go ashore with Miela, then enjoy the sunset with a good glass of wine.
Another beautiful day of sailing, in a place we particularly love.
