This morning we left Thompson Bay and motored N 65 nautical miles in light wind to New Bight, Cat Island. We have been wanting to go to Cat Island all winter but the weather hasn’t cooperated. We had planned to wait out the next significant front—arriving this weekend—in Thompson Bay but recently came up with a plan to sit the front out in Rock Sound, stopping at Cat Island on the way. We won’t have much time here but it will be nice to spend even one day in New Bight before we have to move on and get settled prior to the arrival of the bad weather.
Sunrise as we were leaving Thompson Bay.
The water was so calm as we motored along the coast of Long Island that it was difficult to find the horizon. Once we passed the tip of Long Island we had a swell of about four feet, with wind chop on top of that.
Before we left Thompson Bay we joined our friends Jean and Michael, Dee and Ron, and Jeannie and Brad yesterday for an early dinner at Sou’ Side. Since we are heading in different directions it was most likely the last time we will see them this season. We have enjoyed the time we spent together this winter and look forward to seeing them again.
