Groundhogs day! . 2/2

We pulled up the anchor a bit after sunrise today. I think it's Sunday the 2nd of February. Groundhogs day...haha. It was another day of mostly motoring. We flew the head sail a bit and it added a knot of speed for a while then died. As our planned anchorage was just a few hours away, the wind actually cooperated and with sails only we did over 5 knots for a bit. Sadly the wind dropped off yet again and after we were only getting about 1.5 knots we motored yet again furling the sails for good. We anchored around from the anchorage to hide from the guarda in a distant town. The cruising guide says they have no boat and don't speak English. Usually you are left alone but if they can scrape up a boat they might visit you unexpectedly including at night?
It was about a 30 NM day. Tomorrow is about 40 NM. There is a dock with marina services but no break water so you can't use it with a north wind. We need gas and water and Internet if they have it which is doubtful as it's not mentioned in the guide.
We need to get weather one way or another before we set out across the Gulf Stream current.

Sunrise as we set out and sunset from new anchorage.
