New adventures at Cat Island
March 2, 2011 At dawn we are up and making the final preparations to leave. The winds are calm as we leave to head 53 miles to our next destination, Cat Island. We cruised slowly past the anchored boats on our way out of the harbour with waves and cheers of “safe voyage”.
Leaving George Town, Exuma
At 08:15 we set a waypoint for Hawkes Nest at the southern tip of Cat Island 37.9 miles away. We have a pleasant cruise with clear skies and barely any wind until 10:50 when the winds increase and the skies darken with a passing shower. The winds increase again as we make our approach into New Bight to anchor. The sky is overcast and we need to sun to navigate the coral heads in this shallow anchorage. We slowed down hoping that the rain will pass before we anchor but to no avail. IF it’s going to rain then it's going to rain while we are anchoring!
