We didn't travel far today but it felt like an amusement ride. We were bouncing all over the place with the waves on our stern quarter and 15-20 knot winds. It was a wild, short ride. The winds are supposed to be out of the southeast, but we were rolling and they feel like they're coming more out of the SW at times. If they switch to the west, we'll be in for a sleepless night. This anchorage is open to the west to the horizon and beyond. We got in around 12:30 and Wayne's taking a nap.
This place is known for swimming pigs that come out to your boat looking for handouts and for Thunder Ball Grotto - named after the James Bond movie that was filmed here.
Other than the ride here it's been a pretty uneventful day. Wayne sleeping, me reading and playing computer games.
