Day 6 - Bahamas Cruising (South Cat Cay)
 
                | 25:31.7N 
79:15.8W Cloudy 
to start - thunderstorms predicted in the late afternoon - time to move to 
another idyllic location - all of 3nm south : South Cat Cay. A gentle 
sailing with only the genoa catching the light breeze as we slide over a steel 
blue sea, making fresh water along the way. Investigated Cat Point - 
the southern tip of South Cat Cay for anchorage - too rocky for our liking we 
settled on another eastern anchorage part way along the Cay - knowing 
a south westerly wind would be blowing us onshore - we set the spare anchor as a 
stern anchor this time - just in-case! The nearby sandy beach was 
inviting us to go ashore an explore (as South Cat Cay is NOT a private 
island)! What a beach - alive with hermit crabs scurrying away, sponge 
coral and rock crevices full of old conch shells - melodically 
chiming together as the water ran over them! Thick growth just a few yards 
in from the beach prevented us from traversing the island - no matter a game of 
beach bowls for the competition points and then back to the boat for home 
made pizza and bread baking - 
delicious!      Phil and Di
