Lots
of wind, but no waves in the protection of Bond Cay. Once we leave
the south entrance at high tide
we encounter wind and waves almost on our nose, more than forecasted.
After and hour of punishing ourselves I decide to put the wind and
waves on our back and sail east to Frazers Hog Cay and not Nassau.
It would have been like traveling
30
miles on a pogo stick. I'm tired after just the first couple miles.
In hindsight Mark and Karen made the
right choice to get to Nassau ahead of the forecasted
winds for Tuesday. I just didn't want to skip the southern Berry's,
but we should of (Linda
will remind me of this).
It
was fairly rough in the anchorage when
we got in there, in the afternoon and
it took two attempts to set the anchor.
It
was too rough to get a clear view of the bottom, but we did drop an
anchor in what I considered to be a sandy spot. The ideal spot
further north off a sandy beach had the only other boat for miles and
I didn't want to “crowd” them in this remote anchorage. I
had set the anchor monitor program on
our iPad “Drag Queen” and
monitored
the tracking on our navigation program. Not
being real comfortable with the location in these high winds I
stayed up late, after
mid-night,
monitoring our position. We
had not moved and
have
been swinging a 45 degree arc around
the anchor
position.
