Position 18 19.30N 64.37.5W The Bight Norman
Island
Saturday 8th Dec
The forecast for the weekend is very breezy, with
aggressive rain squalls later on Sunday and Monday.We head for the Bight on
Norman Island - 'an exceptionally well sheltered anchorage' according to the
pilot. After a cracking sail back from Jost, we detour via Sopers Hole for some
provisions and ice and a little shopping. It's a good marina nad very
picturesque, but somewhat claustrophobic after the islands, so we sail on to
Norman.
It is very sheltered, the swimming's good and there
are tracks all over the island, so some needed early morning brisk walking's in
order to keep the 'rum tum' at bay. A short dinghy ride away, the caves offer
good snorkelling over very pretty coral and Geoff fits in a reef dive with Blue
Water Divers. IWe al know the area quite well, so it's good to stay for a couple
of days without the pressure to hare all over the place for the sake of
it.
Sailing from Jost, and a lunchtime something in
Sopers Hole
