We, OK mostly me, have an aversion to arriving in an anchorage when it’s still dark. Especially a new anchorage because there’s not a chance you can spot rocks under the water, but any populated anchorage has it’s risk because unfortunately, not all boats turn the anchor lights on at night. When we were on passage to Punta Chivato and I got up for my night watch I did a quick calculation of what time we would arrive given our current speed, and it would be about 2 hours before daylight. I mentioned it to Tim, who was seriously unconcerned and heading to bed. As he was walking away I asked him if he’d help me reduce sail so we would slow down, and his response was no. When I asked what I should do then, he said, “I don’t care, do whatever you want, you can always just zig-zag.” Thanks, thanks a lot.
