Cloudy to start - thunderstorms predicted in the late afternoon - time to move to another idyllic location - all of 3nm south : South Cat Cay. A gentle sailing with only the genoa catching the light breeze as we slide over a steel blue sea, making fresh water along the way. Investigated Cat Point - the southern tip of South Cat Cay for anchorage - too rocky for our liking we settled on another eastern anchorage part way along the Cay - knowing a south westerly wind would be blowing us onshore - we set the spare anchor as a stern anchor this time - just in-case! The nearby sandy beach was inviting us to go ashore an explore (as South Cat Cay is NOT a private island)! What a beach - alive with hermit crabs scurrying away, sponge coral and rock crevices full of old conch shells - melodically chiming together as the water ran over them! Thick growth just a few yards in from the beach prevented us from traversing the island - no matter a game of beach bowls for the competition points and then back to the boat for home made pizza and bread baking - delicious!
