We are sitting at anchor at Big Major's Spot waiting for a cold front to pass. Weather guru, Chris Parker, has been talking about this front for a week. At one point he said it would bring winds up to 40 knots. Yikes! We chose to stay here after talking with some people who have been coming here for 9 years. They said it is a protected anchorage and the holding is good. They were right about the holding, our anchor is really buried. So far, a squall line passed through late yesterday afternoon ahead of the front (photo was taken after it passed). We guessed the winds were in the upper 20's. It is actually rather nice now, light winds and mostly sunny. It is 81 degrees (sorry, everyone back in the States). We decided to stay put because the winds are supposed to pick up again tonight and again tomorrow night. So, since we are happy with the way we are anchored, we will wait it out here. You know what they say about a bird in the hand...
