GHC, Fanny Cay

At 9:30am the four of us head south on another dinghy adventure to Fanny Cay. Unfortunately we leave to close to low tide and spend about an hour “walking” the dinghies, because it is too shallow in places.

Walking Miss Daisy

Once we get to deeper water we shoot down to Fanny Cay and a couple other very remote Cays. Some beautiful beaches and sandbars. Do not find a lot of shells.

Now that the tide has been rising we get back in a fraction of the time it took to get here. 
 
As Linda and I get near the entrance of the harbor our outboard starts loosing power and we just barely can stay on plane. Then once I back off on the throttle it stops all together. Mark and Karen have already rounded the corner in the Harbor and do not see that we are dead in the water. I start rowing towards the entrance before the waves can push us toward the rocky shore. After about 10 minutes I pull the starter and the engine starts right up and we head in, but do not have full power. Well, something else to “entertain” me tomorrow, figuring out what the problem is.
