We finally escaped Silva Bay. We got an early start and headed North to Dol Bay, motoring or motor sailing all the way. We arrived at the anchorage around 2 pm and went to work on anchor and stern tie, setting the anchor and backing the stern toward shore.
Chuck and Tina took off toward shore in the dinghy with one end of the stern tie line and one end of the tag line. Tina clambered up the shore and passed the stern line around a tree, then tied it to the tag line.
Back on the boat, we pulled in the tag line until we'd retrieved the end of the stern tie line it was tied to. Then we anchored the stern to shore with the stern line. In the morning we won't have to go ashore. We'll just pull the stern line in, pull up the anchor, and away we'll go.
