Susie does Thunderball
03 April 2007 | Stanial Cay
Well we came back up here to show Susie Thunderball Grotto. It was as pretty as ever with multitudes of fish. I believe everyone had fun!!!!!!!!
The grotto was very nice as usually. Diane and Susie really enjoyed it. It was full of fish and no current. We make it back to the boat and spend the day relaxing.
Then the "Searay Shuffle starts. The first of three boats come in, two 50' and one 40'. The first two anchor and head into the bar. The third one goes aground on a sand bar. While the grounded boat is trying to pull itself free with his dingy at full power, actually pulling him farther on the bar, and accepting no offers of help. At the same time one of the two anchored boats, drags down on the other one. They race out and move there boats near us. Then they decide to up anchor so the person at the helm puts it in forward gear and goes full throttle. Before the anchor is free!!!!! Needless to say it messed up his windlass. He never does slow down and hits his own anchor chain. Finally they decide to go to another anchorage, we are not sad about them moving ?
