A Quiet Anchorage

Once again buoyant, Tramontana briskly covered the last few miles to The King's Channel, a loop off the main river Suir that otherwise continues into Waterford city centre and marina. Not for me did the bright lights of civilisation beckon. All I wanted was to anchor, have a beer, and get into my bunk for some proper sleep, my first in five days.
