| 12:36.011N 061:23.882W Had a short sale over to Mayreau which is really quite small but has two beautiful bays. We are anchored, with our brand new hopefully good anchor, but unfortunately the winds are too strong to go in the dinghy. Yesterday in Tabago Cays we got a soaking twice. The first time dinghying over to the island where all the turtles breed and the second time going to dinner on Ta-B, our friends boat. Apart from the heavy seas the area is fantastic with tortoise coloured water that the camera doesn't do justice. We saw lots of turtles and rays swimming round the boats looking up at us looking down at them! Unfortunately the winds are very strong so getting off the boat is problematic. So we just sit in the cockpit with a beer or two and watch the brave snorkelers beating against the waves. In a day or so we are looking to head north and we are not looking forward to going against these winds. It definitely will be payback time. |
