Midnight in Ipala

Ipala anchorage. Obviously, not midnight.

0035 – The light has changed position. Jay and I immediately wake-up. This means the boat has moved. Not good. We are on a lee shore, precariously close to rocks. Did I mention the cove is small? It is pitch black. No moon. Millions of stars, though. I forgot there were so many. The sound of the waves hitting the shore increases as we are now closer. We check our latitude and longitude and our depth. We haven’t moved. That doesn’t mean we still can’t. I am fidgety. Can’t sleep. Jay is not too worried. Eventually, we fall back asleep.

0600- I awaken to the alarm. Jay is already awake with a cup of coffee. All is well. I thank God and Jay for keeping us safe.
