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...
