Had some big waves at the anchorage and for the first 30-45 minutes underway this morning. I stayed in my bed to help me brace the impacts 😬 I knew I couldn't make a run for the cockpit and just had to wait it out. Ben said it wouldnt be long. Aunt Denise was stuck in the bathroom because it wasn't bad when she went in, but it got so bumpy very quickly. Uncle Paul had to help her walk up to the cockpit couch so she could lay down!
Once the water smoothed out, everyone just hung out and recovered while we were underway. We anchored at Great Sale Cay. (As a reminder, "Cay" is pronounced "Key".) Looked for a beach to play and swim. Took the Chicken and walked around on shore. Lots of tiny snails, a blue crab, sand biscuits, and lots of glass, plastic, and random trash. It was overcast, so not too hot. The water was pretty shallow and very warm so we didn’t get in past our ankles.
Rode the tender to what we thought was a sandbar, but turned out to be something else we couldn't figure out. We made Moose attempt to touch the bottom while holding onto the side of the tender and he couldn't, so we turned around.
Moose and Ben took the Chicken out for a spin. Everyone took showers, then we had dinner, and played Kids Against Maturity which is always good for a laugh. Tried to plan the next few stops along the way south. (Treasure Cay, Elbow Cay, Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Nassau, and make it to Atlantis early on the 7th.) Reserved Atlantis Marina slip for June 7, 8, 9.
Got another sunset, but this one was cloudier. Still, we love watching them!
