Sound Effect finished the SSB net Friday morning and pulled the hook for the first time in 2 months and left French Cay Harbor and traveled on to Utila the last of 3 of the Bay Islands of Honduras. We had a boisterous sail with very short steep waves but we were going down wind at hull speed under reeefed main alone. We arrived and anchored only to find out we were in the path of the fast ferry that comes several times per day. It was suggested over the VHF radio that we move to a better position which we did. We anchored in new spot and I dove the anchor finding it pretty well dug in but I was mistaken! An hour or two later and we had moved several hundred yards into very shallow water. So up came the anchor and we re set with 10 to 1 scope about twice our usual amount. It was quite a surprise since we have never dragged with the Rocna anchor before . It is eel grass over sand which is not ideal. We set a GPS anchor alarm to alert us when we are sleeping but it will be a tough night.
The wind has been blowing 20+ all day but is forecast to lessen overnight and into the weekend hope so.
Very sad to leave so many friends in Roatan but we are ready for new adventures so we are moving once again.
