Bonfire

We left George Town just before dawn in order to make it to Lee Stocking Island just before high tide. The swells in Exuma Sound were 4-5 feet, so the sailing was a little uncomfortable but not as bad as yesterday. At least we were able to sail and did not have to motor. We are finding out that your choices here are:1-sail, but cope with lumpy seas, or 2-motor and have calm seas. We wanted to arrive at Lee Stocking Island just before high tide because the chart said there were some areas with depths of 4'9". Breeze On draws 5'8" so we needed those extra three feet with high tide. We made it in without any trouble and anchored in Williams Bay. There were already six other boats anchored but plenty of room for us. Within an hour a couple drove up in their dinghy and invited us to join them for a bonfire in the evening. They invited all of the people in the anchorage. Four other couples showed up and everyone brought food to share. Most others brought hot dogs to cook over the b
onfire. It was a very pleasant evening and we are so grateful to have been included.
