Yesterday we spent the day reading, relaxing and swimming with our snorkel gear. I found that with the strong current that comes through the anchorage, I am not as strong as I had thought. John had put out a fender on a rope so I had something to hang onto in the current. After we got back aboard Spunky we showered with fresh water and had a late lunch.
Left Allan's Cay this morning at about 8:45. Once again our GPS was not working as the batteries were too low so we use our handheld to mark our position on the chart. It was overcast and there were storm clouds to the south but the winds were 15-18 out of the SE so we put up the sails and took off. It is always a concern that we know our position so we don't sail through coral heads or reefs. They are usually marked on the chart so one has to know one's position. It was a good sail south to Norman's Cay and just as we were taking down our sails to turn into the wind and head for our anchorage we got some rain. It was gone by the time we had dropped anchor and we are now waiting for low tide to check if our depth is ok for the night. We are hoping to explore the cay this afternoon.
