We are headed north and off the grid again. After running the water maker and seeing a pretty rainbow this morning we raised the anchor and left Hog Cay. We are anchored at Buenavista Cay and far enough away from the Ragged Island cell tower to be off the grid. I am sending this blog post through the Iridium Go satellite phone. Several other boats left Hog Cay ahead of us this morning. We did not go the the tiki hut gathering last evening so did not have a chance to discuss other cruisers' plans, but it appeared most of them went to either Double Breasted Cay or Raccoon Cay. Cruisers who have been coming here for years know the best places to go to catch lobsters and conch as well as where to go to hide from changing wind directions. We are expecting southerly winds later this week.
We had a very brisk sail today, going 7 knots with just a reefed main in 20 knots of wind. We are hoping the wind calms down a little by tomorrow, before we cross the Nurse Cay Channel.
DARN! We have a snow day here and I am home. I sent you a message that I had time to talk anytime today, but now I see why you didn't reply. Oh well. Have fun! We will chat in a couple of weeks!
