Jane's log:

"Brought up a lost line and a cable!! with the anchor.  There are no cables on the chart, nor signs on shore, but we found one.  It was quickly released by tying it off and then dropping the anchor again.  It was back on the bottom within 5 minutes.

"But that was not to be the end of today's adventures.  The engine started running irregularly, and we narrowed it down to the starboard fuel tank filter.  We switched to port, and we'll check the starboard filter later.

"An easy motor up to Walsh Cove for the day, where with the sun shining it's a good day to hang out in the cockpit.  Another busy anchorage: is this what cruising is to most people?

"Lots of seals along the way.

"Great trip ashore to the Gorges Islets, and a quick look at the petroglyphs on Baker Point (I think I found them: Ian wasn't convinced!)."
