25:09.03N, 076:11.66W in Pau Pau Bay
The weather became benign for the trip further southwards
along Eleuthera so after leaving Hatchet Bay we squeezed an extra stop in
at Pau Pau Bay near South Palmetto Settlement, an anchorage we'd missed in
the past. When the wind falls light and variable the opportunity presents itself
to try some different places although this area is usually quite safe in
the prevailing easterly direction winds in any case. We didn't go ashore
just enjoyed the tranquillity the anchorage afforded throughout the night and by
morning there wasn't a ripple on the water. We continued onwards to
Rock Sound which has all-round protection as the wind was due to kick up in the
following days - possibly from a southerly direction.
Some pics of the Pau Pau Bay area and of the wonderful
calm water we motored over.
  Three small Cays form part of the seascape in Pau
Pau Bay known as the Pineapple Cays
  When we have to motor then this is the best time -
flat seas, beautiful colours!
We arrived in Rock Sound later in the day where a small fleet
of boats were anchored.
