Yoga Retreat washing machine

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.
