Anchored Out

Today we left the marina and motored a whopping .7 miles to an anchorage just outside the Spanish Wells channel. We are only about .25 miles from our former slip, as the crow flies. Before we left the marina we walked to the Food Fair grocery store and bought a few things. The store is as large as the Food Lion we have at home. They have a spot in the bread section where local bakers can sell their products. I bought three guava cupcakes. On the  way back to the marina we saw several of the “lobster hotels” the fishermen use to catch spiny lobsters. The hotels are not traps, just a place the lobsters like to hide. The fishermen drop the hotels, mark the GPS location, then return later to catch the lobsters.

After we were anchored we went exploring in the dinghy. We forgot to take a camera so we plan to go back and take photos of a few of the interesting sights we saw. 

We have reservations at The Shipyard restaurant for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. If the weather cooperates we will stay anchored here through Thanksgiving, then head further south.
