More Wind Coming
15 February 2013 | Exuma Land and Sea Park
Thursday, Friday, February 14th & 15th – We are still in Warderick Wells since the forecast is for northwest winds of 25-30 knots over the next few days. There is very little protection in the Exumas from northwest winds, so we’ll sit it out here. We can’t stay long – we are about to run out of coffee, we are out of bread and all fresh fruit and vegetables! We have lots of cans and packaged foods so sure won’t starve! The nearest provisioning is about 25 miles away and depending on weather, we’ll head there either tomorrow or the next day. It is easy to pass the time here hiking, swimming, visiting other boaters and reading. Ron gave Farley a haircut this morning – his first since Mobile. We also made our sign on driftwood to leave on Boo Boo Hill. It’s supposed to be good luck! Nearby is a spot called Pirate’s Lair. It is between two islands, the back one higher than the front. Pirates used to hide their boats here and could see over the lower island if any Spanish galleons were coming by that they could attack. We may try to dinghy over there today.
