The bright lights of Spanish Town had little to hold us so after a couple of nights there we headed across to Lee Bay on the west side of Great Camanoe. We had the anchorage to ourselves for a while but it soon filled up.

While snorkelling I came face to face with a spear gun held by a lady hunting Lionfish which are starting to populate the Caribbean.

 

   

 

                         Full Moon rising

 

However northerly swells set in during the night and the bay became uncomfortable and everyone left early!

 

We headed up to White Bay which is a true Caribbean anchorage but as it seemed likely the swells would find their way in we headed back east and anchored in the lee of Marina Cay.

Typical Bank Holiday weather hits the BVI’S and Good Friday’s torrential ( warm ) rain allowed us to give the decks a good scrub and catch lots of fresh water for rinsing boat gear to get salt off. The boat next to us managed to fill their 400 litre water tank in a very short time! Strong winds too over the Easter Weekend with 25 knots and grey skies and more showers so we stayed put!

We watched a new charter Beneteau sail onto the rocks and put out a May Day.    The crew were taken off by rib and the yacht was left pounding for several hours before it was eventually towed off.

However we met up again with Mark and Amanda aboard “Magnum” and met Becky and Ike aboard “Rhythm” and managed a good book swap!

 

Monday was still fresh with 25 knots but bright so we headed off down to Cooper Island.
