Black Point to Pipe Cay (aka Decca Station)

Yesterday morning we went for a four mile walk to Little Creek, at the northern tip of Great Guana Cay.  On our way back we met a very nice young couple, Sarah and Nick, who are on their first cruise in the Bahamas. We spent the rest of the day on boat chores. Just before bedtime the loud music from Emerald Sunset View Restaurant and Bar started up. They had played loud music the night before and we were hoping they weren’t going to be doing that every night. So much for our new favorite anchoring spot in Black Point harbor. This morning, as George took our garbage to the dock, he snapped a picture of the sharks circling around looking for breakfast. After he returned we raised the anchor and sailed north 12 miles to Pipe Cay, aka the Decca Station. We had stopped here last year and found some nice snorkeling. We are anchored near an osprey nest and the osprey’s song reminds us of home. The southeast wind had kicked up some waves, making the anchorage bouncy all afternoon. The wind and waves have finally calmed down, as forecast, and we are looking forward to a quiet, restful night.
