I did almost the same track. A-Bay, to WAM, to Chestnut, back to A-Bay to get out of the wind/waves for some swim time. The chop outside the bay was solid two footers, making a distinct line off Rattlesnake. The chop in the bay was much flatter, although the wind was tenacious. After anchoring for a couple of hours, the anchor was really buried taking some work to pull. The wind was quite impressive, soaking us with the occasional ideal wave.
It was one of the times where most boats under 25' where chugging along at a calculated pace. Funny, there seemed to be a bunch of 16 to 20 footers out today. No thanks.
Heard on ch 9 of a boat with significant troubles in W-boro bay needing to be towed in. Lots of chatter on logistics of getting them in safe. Hope all were fine.
