Protected from the Wind

This week has been windy—20’s gusting to 30 knots—but Hog Cay is an excellent place to ride out a wind. The bluffs of the cay as well as the ability to anchor fairly close to shore make the anchorage calmer than many other anchorages in the Bahamas. We have been able to get to shore each day for hikes and the daily gathering at the tiki hut. 

Our system for pulling the dinghy up with the outboard still attached seems to be working well. It cuts the time and effort involved in raising the dinghy in half. We like to pull the dinghy out of the water each night; if it happened to get away it would most likely end up in Cuba. When we are traveling we will take the outboard off.
