Wind
picks up in the afternoon as predicted and after lunch we head back
into Nassau. We anchor in front of the Yoga Retreat where we stayed
for 5 days or so 2 years ago. With the chop on the water it is hard
to clearly see the bottom and make sure the anchor dropped in sand
and not grass. I put on the mask and fins to check. The anchor is
dug into a sandy spot. Interestingly under our boat is a large old
safe and a block of cement. I assume the safe is full of cement and
was an old mooring block, not something you want to snag an anchor
on. By
10 PM the wind is blowing 20-25 knots out of the north, but the
strong current is perpendicular to the wind direction and we are
bouncing all over the place. I let out more anchor line and keep an
anchor watch until 3:00 AM until the current is nearly the same
direction as the wind. Nobody
else gets much sleep either with all the motion.
