Sailing in to St Bees with a good downwind run, we arrived just as the drizzle began. We already had our rain-catchers out in anticipation and caught enough to do some washing.
The new
moorings at St Bees now make it easy to stopover. The Keswick Kiosk is only open Sunday to
Monday 10 am to noon, despite what their old webpage states, and has basic
supplies of bread, milk, beer, wine, ice creams, cold drinks and a few basics. The boat ramp is best at full tide, but we
managed to pull the dinghy up among the rocks beside the ramp.
The NP beach
opposite on St Bees has a lagoon at high tide, fed by a creek lined with
mangroves. It should be called St
Butterflies as there was a constant procession of Tiger Blues and Common Crows
flying in. Dinghying back to the boat a
few crashed into us but then kept going.
Such intrepid little insects!
