After a day
of laundry, filling with water and provisioning, we decided our challenging
5-hour trip on the Bahama Sound last Saturday was enough wild adventure for
now.
So we’re
giving up on crossing the Sound to the out Islands this year, and instead will
be spending our last week before packing up “gunkholing” on this side of the
Sound (puttering from bay to bay).
Yesterday,
we explored a new place, called Moriah Cay – a gorgeous little unprotected bay
about 1.5 hours from George Town. The air and water were still for a change –
so we swam off the boat, and dinghied around the Cay, taking pictures of the
beautiful deserted beaches and craggy coral shoreline.
But today
the wind blew up again, and the sky clouded and threatened a storm. Moriah’s
not a good place to be in a rough sea, so we weighed anchor at 9:30 am, and
made a dash for Red Shanks – about a half hour away. Not a minute too soon –
the rain came down in sheets just after we anchored – very glad to be here. So it
was a rainy day at the “cottage” – Jeff did all kinds of small boat projects,
and I worked on Schulich stuff, baked brownies and cooked butter parmesan
chicken wings for dinner. Jeff said they were the best he’d ever had J.
