Dawn on Monday, March 16
The forecast had predicted that it would rain last night, and when we woke up, we were disappointed to find that it hadn’t. The boat was starting to get gross and needed a good wash down.
Christi was the first one up, and she started working on getting the boat ready to go to sea as soon as she got up. If the forecast was correct, the wind direction was going to shift soon and the anchorage would become rolly and uncomfortable. Last night, we hadn’t totally decided where we were going to go, but we’d been leaning towards going back to Over Yonder Cay.
When Eric got up, he checked the route and saw we’d have to go through yet another narrow, shallow channel to get there. While the tide was high right then, it was a falling tide, and Eric announced that we need to leave right NOW before it got too shallow. We got the dinghy up, brought the paravane in, and lifted the anchor.
Our friends on Tiki Tour had texted last night and said they were going to Pipe Cay today. We’d texted back this morning that we were going to Over Yonder Cay. Tiki left the same time we did and were right behind us, so we guessed they were probably going to join us at Over Yonder.
