This is when todays electronics are really useful. Neither one of us knew what day of the week
it was so we had to consult a laptop.
Today was a lazy day full of indecision about whether we should move on
or enjoy this location for a few more days.
Our original reason for being here was to wait out a westerly front
which may or may not arrive on Wednesday through Thursday. Since the Exumas run generally northwest to
southeast there are very few anchorages which have protection from west winds.

Laziness won out as Bob was anxious to finish his book and
while settled in one place it is much easier to stay on course with the regular
soaking and antibiotic application on Bob’s toes. We had yet to paint our boat name on our
piece of driftwood collected at a beach on Highborne Cay and donating it to the
pile on Boo Boo Hill was a priority.
Peggy made journal entries in the event we someday have reliable
internet and can update the blog. Bob
studied charts to help decide where to go next and we tightened up our spring
schedule estimates. Not being able to
swim has caused a change in plans as good snorkeling areas no longer tops the
list for anchoring stops. Boat cleanup
was another priority as we hadn’t properly stowed items since returning in
February.
With the midday temperature at 78, humidity of
73, and the sun calling, we bent to our duties interspersed with short breaks
to enjoy the weather. Though the air was
warm, the water felt cold. |
