January 22nd, 2010 Johnson Cay to Water Cay, Jumentos
Steve and Kim came over to say good-by at around 6:30 and gave us the update that they had received from "Night Hawk" via email. Their boat is fixed and they are on the way south. They left us to ready the boat and while below, there was a knock. Steve was back to purchase 5 gallons of gasoline which he transferred to his jerry can and said good bye for the second time.
We weighed anchor and headed out the cut a little before 8am. Once beyond the protection of our cove and out in the Ocean we were greeted with waves from the SW and no wind to speak of ... it made for an uncomfortable ride. I raised the main to act as a shock absorber and that smoothed us out a little. As the morning progressed the waves flattened a little but the wind stayed at about 8 knots behind us.
We had four fishing lines out most of the way north but failed to have any action.
Arriving at Water Cay at around 2, we got the anchor down at the north end of the island and spent the afternoon reading. I made meat-loaf for dinner which we had with beans and a baked potato.
