Such planning can add considerable number of miles to each days
passage.

I think you meant to say "subtract" rather than add miles.


What I was meaning to say was "add considerable miles to a days run." .

I try to make anchorage, especially in a strange anchorage, in daylight
hours. If I have a favorable currents, I might continue another 20 miles
to a more distant anchorage.

I generally start in the early morning to catch a favorable tide. This
didn't make my crew very happy since he liked to sleep in and before I
could haul the anchor in, he had to move his bedding to open the chain
locker hatch. (this never kept him from going back to sleep after the
anchor was on deck). That's what you get when you invite a kid brother
(53) along. Nothing has changed since he sailed with me 40 years ago.

Hey, don't complain too loudly. Neither of my kid brothers (49 and 51) are
interested in sailing.

28 days and only 2 days in a marina. Now that's what I call cruising. Way
to go.
Maybe you could list a few of your favourite anchorages for those of us
hoping to get up that way in the future.
