Barry Perrins, sailing solo on his boat, makes an unplanned stop at Rodriguez Island to seek rest and shelter from heavy weather and persistent squalls. Navigating by inaccurate charts, he anchors in a narrow, reef-strewn harbor and faces extensive bureaucratic requirements to clear customs. While attempting to re-anchor to avoid a departing ship, a heavy steel chain-locker cover slams shut in a gust of wind, severely injuring his toe. He receives medical treatment ashore for the injury, which involves significant soft tissue damage and bleeding. Throughout the stay, he explores the island, identifying historical sites associated with Joshua Slocum, including the governor’s residence and an old stone quay. Despite the injury and ongoing gale warnings, he manages the boat’s position in the anchorage while dealing with the physical pain and the logistical challenges of port authorities.
