April Third...Rock Sound to Alabaster Bay
There are few good anchorages along the east coast of Eleuthera so even though we had great wind, we stopped at Alabaster Bay early to take advantage of good southern protection. The holding wasn't the best but we found an area of sand to drop anchor and backed down. It dragged for about 20 feet and then caught something.
The Bay was beautiful. There was a large airport on the northern end about a mile away and about 4 cottages on the southern end where we anchored. There was a wonderful beach and a very nice coral ridge for snorkeling. Steve and I took the dinghy out to find a fish but the only one I saw, a nice grouper, hid itself so well that by the time I went back for the spear, I couldn't find it.
We cooked pizza and invited Carol, Steve, Kris and Craig over for dinner. We ended up playing Catch Phrase until well after dark.
