Gene
had done some searching around the GPS and charts, and noticed a
beautiful remote-looking bay called Rendezvous Bay close to where we
were anchored. It's very far off the main road, so we figured there
are probably very few if any people that visit this beach. We
decided to sail over to the bay, and take the dingy to the beach for
the day.
We
had some issues with our windlass when we anchored in Rendezvous.
The windlass was getting power, but wasn't turning to bring the
anchor chain up or down. After troubleshooting, we were able to get
it working, but there was definitely still something wrong with it,
so we decided to enjoy the day and diagnose the main issue later.
Rendezvous
Bay was definitely more remote than the other beaches we'd seen, but
there were still a few couples. We realized that there was a road
where cars (most like with 4 wheel drive) could drive down to the
beach. With as large as the beach was, however, it was still very
easy to find a quiet piece of sand far away from the other people. We spent the day hanging out on the beach, swimming,
snorkeling, and playing horseshoes. When we got back to the boat, we
successfully retrieved the anchor, and headed back to Carlisle Bay to
anchor for the evening.
