Leaving
the marina at a few hours before high tide - all checked out. Nice marina - low
ratesl! No doubt as soon as we vacated our berth there was another round of
"musical chairs (boats)" as motor yacht friends grouped closer together (there
wasn't a single day without someone moving within the marina for some reason or
another - very odd)!
Pleasant
motor down the Bimin island chain - passing Turtle Rocks and the spooky ,
skeleton wreck of the Sapona, victim of a 1929 hurricane. Further south - Piquet
Rocks, Holm Cay and Gun Cay - anchorage possibilities on our way back. For now
though we were looking for a good easterly and southerly protection given the
wind forecasts and weather changes. Water maker running - replenishing the fresh
water tank for the next few days before turning in to North Cat
Cay.
Anchored
early afternoon - a private island with luxurious houses along their
private shoreline, a yacht club and private airstrip - the life of ruch and
famous! At least we were on our private yacht!
Evening
bbq as we watched rain clouds pass by - althouigh not so fortunate in the night
- heavy rain and winds meant a "rolling" night on anchor!!
