Sunday, December 21, 2025 — Given how shallow the northern Shroud anchorage was, we could only move at high tide. The wind was forecast to shift tomorrow, so we had been planning to move tomorrow morning at high tide. Much to our dismay, we woke up to find that the wind shift had already begun… and it was already high tide. We had to either move right then or stay for another day while the anchorage became increasingly uncomfortable. In good news, it looked like southern Shroud would provide good protection, so we didn’t need to move far. The purple dot was where we anchored on northern Shroud, the blue dot where we anchored in southern Shroud, and the red dot was The Washing Machine.

The rest of the flotilla also moved to southern Shroud. Since it was such as short ride in protected waters, we towed the dinghy, which was something we rarely did.
