Needing fuel before proceeding to the spit, I hauled up the anchor and found it fowled on someone's mooring buoy. Now, let's be clear, it was an illegal mooring buoy with no name or phone number on it. So....rather than loose my Danforth Anchor, I cut through a 1" piece of Blue Steel three strand rope and I was free. I hope whoever owns the mooring buoy notices it's been cut before tying up to it. Oh well...
Once I was clear I on-boarded 35 litres of diesel.
