Chagos

We arrived in Chagos about noon today (Wed). Had a good sail overnight and this morning. A little over two days of passage time with 16 hours of motoring. Only had one BOB incident overnight. BOB Boobie On Board. She really wanted to hangout on the solar panels for the evening. Probably would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the guttural squawks she kept making. A little boat poling and she sort of fell off the panels with a quick splash in the water and then off into more elegant flight.

We've tied ourselves to an old mooring rope in Ille Boddam in Chagos. We came to this anchorage because the winds are still out of the north here due to the low that pasd close by (normally would be SE). We were greeted by our friends on Perry, the only boat here, along with a 5 foot black tip shark that seems to think we are about to throw fish scraps overboard. I needed to dive on our old mooring and beef it up a little. Jen, off Perry, told me not to worry because she has researched it and there have only been 9 documented bites by black fin sharks. Thanks. Added a backup anchor line and chained it around a freestanding old coral bommie.
All good for now.
