This is a second post for today- be sure to read the prior post by Susan which is on a different topic.

Susan and I are currently anchored at Chicken (Fowl) Cay immediately South of Rocky Dundas. I’ll explain that relative position in a bit.

We’re all by ourselves. There is not another anchor light or light on shore anywhere in sight. We can just see the red light on top of a radio tower to the south. We didn’t intentionally seek out our personal anchorage, it is just a consequence of what we wanted to do. However, it’s nice after the crowded anchorages and congested beaches at the 5F festival.

Once again, it’s beautiful. The anchorage is sheltered from South and West winds by Chicken Cay and North winds by Rocky Dundas. Conch Cut is to our East which gives us an unobstructed view out into the deep water sound. In the distance, we can see waves crashing onto the shores of Cambridge Cay with spray being launched high into the air. The cliffs of Rocky Dundas were lit by the low angle light at the end of the day. And now, there is a bright full moon in the sky. Chicken Cay is a private island with a very short airstrip- maybe too short. There is the wreckage of a twin prop plane just above the beach. Last, but not least, it’s quiet.

We sailed here from Blackpoint with the intention of snorkeling the caves inside Rocky Dundas which are suppose to be more spectacular than Thunderball Groto. Unfortunately, the waves were just too rough for us to do that. Maybe early tomorrow morning. Tonight is our consolation price.

Tomorrow we are heading towards two snorkeling sites that have great reputations- a sunken plane and “the aquarium.”
