Unfortunately our track record for the Bahamas is not as good as the ICW at this point. Bill told me to be careful getting out of our anchorage this morning but I didn’t listen very well. We went hard aground. To make it much worse a Norwegian cruise line was in and there were thirty kayakers witnessing my mistake. The only way to get the boat off the sand, in the falling tide, was for Bill to take the dinghy off the davits, bring the anchor down into it, and drop the anchor into deeper water. That is called kedging. It didn’t look like it was going to work but ultimately it did. It certainly made for a stressful morning and hopefully for a more diligent helmsman.
Once we left Great Stirrup Cay we headed just an hour south to Hawksnest Cay. Bill read that there was a lake with an archway into the ocean. After we anchored in a very rolly spot we discovered that there was Internet to borrow. Unfortunately it’s too uncomfortable to stay here for the night but we decided to take advantage and post the blog with a picture this time. If there is no picture you know we posted the blog via our SSB radio. Bill, Guy and I got in the dinghy and headed to the island. We walked completely around the island and picked up some shells and some good pictures. We found the lake, it wasn’t much of a lake at low tide. The picture is of Bill and I in front of the archway. Guy found a couple of coconuts to bring back. He says there will be Pina coladas tonight! Bill and I took the dinghy back to the boat but Guy decided to snorkel back to the boat – naked!
