We left Cat Island before dawn this morning to make the 60 mile trip across Exuma Sound. We had good wind and sailed the entire distance. The wind caused the seas to be a bit lumpy, but not too horrible. Our original destination was Staniel Cay but when we heard Chris Parker’s weather forecast this morning we decided to go to Cambridge Cay instead. Chris’s prediction for tomorrow’s SW winds was higher than we had been expecting. Cambridge Cay has well-maintained mooring balls and good protection from west wind. We arrived just after low tide and saw a depth of 6.2 feet at the narrow, shallow entrance. Not much room to spare under our 5’ 8” draft!
It is surprising how much this reef cuts downs the waves from the west.
