Long Island to Staniel Cay

We left Thompson Bay, Long Island just before dawn yesterday morning. We were looking forward to a nice day of sailing. However, just after we left the harbor the wind dropped from 13 to 6 knots and stayed light all day. It was light again today so we motored and motor-sailed the entire 100 mile trip to Staniel Cay. Just after we dropped anchor at Big Majors this afternoon we launched the dinghy and motored over to the Staniel Cay Yacht Club where we hoped to pick up the new belt for the water maker.  It hadn’t yet arrived so we will return tomorrow and hope it will be there then. While we were at the yacht club we ate a late lunch and bought two five-gallon cans of diesel so we made good use of our dinghy ride. 

Sunrise over Rocky Point, where we anchored last night.
