We left you with more thoughts of potential high-winds squalls, something
not normally experienced this time of year here, pondering an oil change
without the right gear and having plundered the "fresh" vegetables
available
in Green Turtle Cay's New Plymouth settlement.

We wanted to get down to Marsh Harbour at some point, and the winds looked
favorable for departure Monday the 27th. There we could get protection
from
fetch (the wind-driven waves that build up over open water in squalls) find
another pump for the oil change, restock some of our more basic foodstuffs,
and other chores.

So, at 10 AM, up comes our anchor, again, full of accreted sand and shells.
The sea is bucking sufficiently that not only do we have water rushing over
it from the front as we head out, the up-down motion of the boat
alternately
lowers and raises the anchor dangling in the water, and it's soon rinsed.


In White Sound? LOL, nice embellishment, dude.

Nice try :{))

Nowhere did I say that we anchored in White Sound. The only place we
anchored was out front of Settlement Harbour.

You have to pay attention, even though you don't have to pay to get in, here
:{))

We DID dinghy to White Sound, once on our anniversary, and again to meet up
with the couple we met that day...

2" of rain
