On to the Exumas
No photos as Internet is expensive and lacking... I'll eventually add them to the 6 or 7 posts I wrote earlier and am posting now December 27th
We again had just a light headwind today so still no sailing. We started out crossing a shallower area of the Bank and were going pretty slow with visual navigation and then Walter started using his horizontal sonar as well. Soon we were back to the more typical 15' or 20' depth. The sun was still fairly high when we arrived to Highborne Cay of the Exumas. We again had trouble with getting the CQR anchor to set. After 2 attempts we went out away from the anchorage with Candace steering as Walter and I worked to swap the CQR for a Rocna type. It set nicely on our first try. We are anchored off the NW corner of Highborne Cay. There are 6 sailboats and one powerboat anchored here tonight. It has gotten windier since we arrived and gusts are likely 15 knots now.
Candace brought a little artificial Christmas Tree and set it up tonight.
