We left Sapadillo Bay this morning bound for Six Hills Cay with light winds forecasted on the nose. We knew the day would consist of short, choppy seas and dodging coral heads. The water depth averaged 10feet and the coral were looming to put a dent in anything that came to close. Our track line looked as if a drunken sailor was steering the ship. What we didn't plan on was the light winds ratcheting up to 28 knots on the nose. Good Trade's nose spent most of the day pointing down at the sand or what seemed like straight up at the moon. The seas were 4 feet with an interval of about 2 seconds. Take it from me this is a very shitty sea state and nothing short of a terrible ride. We finished the day by 4pm and dropped the hook behind Six Hills Cay, feeling as though we had just exited our first prizefight. Realizing later that it was true, we had broken a piece of our nose off. No emergency, just the scupper that covers the anchor drain hole exited the boat. Damn it's not a spare I keep on board.
