Keppel Bay Marina (Rosslyn Bay) to Pearl Bay anchorage

After an up expected extended stay in the Marina due to a strong wind warning, we finally duck out of the Bay and headed to Pearl Bay which had a reputation as the nicest anchorage in the area. The day started calmly enough with the winds lighter in the morning however by the afternoon both the winds and swell had increased to the point where conditions were uncomfortable until we reached the anchorage.

The anchorage was a little underwhelming mostly due to the weather. I'm sure it would be a more picturesque place in sunshine and fair winds. As it was it was a swelly overnight anchorage and we were happy to depart in the early morning.
