Stone Point

At the Stone Point anchorage, Victoria and My Quest also arrived and anchored. My Quest's anchor chain did not run out properly, so the hook did not hold. I had to call out a warning that she was about to drift onto Kelpie II, and the skipper hastily pushed the rest of the chain over the side. My Quest stopped about 2 metres clear of Kelpie II, and there was a hasty pumping up of dingy so it could be used to move My Quest, which has no engine.
We went below and made some lunch. After we ate, we rowed  Worm over to Stone Point; the first time we had set foot there.
Ben called and said that he was at Titchmarch marina. Maryll must have passed Robinetta while we were down below getting lunch as we never saw her. We upped anchor and went to Titchmarch, passing Princess Matilda (Timothy Spall's barge) on the way.

Victoria needed fresh water, and Keith had agreed to get it for them, so we collected that as well as Ben, and motored back to Stone Point to leave it on board. We then picked up a mooring and ate on the boat.
