Default Ahead of the storm into Green Turtle

Left Spanish Cay because it was poorly protected from the strong west
wind andd sailed down to Green Turtle arriving just ahead of the cold
front with its lightning and strong wind increase. We reached 7 kts in
my 28' sailboat screaming along with the wind abeam.
Wind increased to nearly 30 kts last night and is about 25 today so we
are stuck at Green Turtle, not a bad place to be stuck for a couple
days. Have taken the opportunity to fix my delaminating tiller. Food
is bizarro expensive here.
