Treasure Cay
05 February 2015
A little sea plane moored back in a canal. There are photos of it taking off in the photo gallery.
2-5-15 thru 2-8-15: Left Guana for Treasure Cay. My Life stayed behind since Chantal got a infection from no-see-um bites. It was a beat in 14 knots for the 14 mile sail. Half way over there was a thunder storm that lasted for around an hour. Had the big jenny out when it hit with a gust to 22. Took it in and things held a steady 18 with buckets of rain and thunder/lightning. Just like the good old Chesapeake Bay except for the color of the water. Motored very slowly for the last couple of miles waiting for it to clear to find the tricky little channel going in. Voodoo was at anchor with his new alternator. It was pizza night at the Tipsy Seagull with Alderann, Sanderling and other Maine boats totaling about 14 folks. We all agreed that is was the most expensive pizza we have ever eaten! Beautiful 3.5 mile beach with a totally different color. My Life arrived the next day in quite a blow! Waiting out another front, another one on Monday and another one on Thursday. Temps. are around 70, but blowing along with more anchor dragging. Switched to the Danforth, but not much better in clay and grass...West Marine confirms this as well. Took the dinghy up the canals for sightseeing and to see the sea turtles which are really fast under water.
