The winds had been blowing 15 to 20 knots with higher gusts from the North the night of the 24th, but as the weather folks predicted, they had died down to less than 10 knots by the morning. We got underway as soon as it was light enough to see (around 0700), headed out of the marina and turned north to Memory Rock, where we would turn east and onto the Little Bahamas Bank. While heading north we put out a handline and caught a 10lb barracuda in less than 5 minutes.
We arrived at Great Sale Cay, entered the harbor, and was anchored by 5PM. We noticed a sailboat aground towards the south end of the anchorage. Not sure if it ran aground while trying to navigate it’s way around the cay or if it dragged anchor during one of the recent Northwesters. Shared the anchorage with three other boats. Cooked pot roast with all the trimmings for dinner.
