The plan for the day was to move to Allans-Pensacola Cay (25-mile trip), a place where Bob could hunt, we could snorkel and/or do some exploring and enjoy a play day.But the best laid plans change.
The winds were expected to be brisk (10-20), but manageable – they turned out to be much stronger (20-30) and not so cooperative – so, while we were able to get off and make about 20 miles to Allans-Pensacola, the last 5 or so would be more upwind and, to say the east in big winds, “not fun”. As result, we sought shelter behind Crab Cay – a small island at the point where Great Abaco Island transitions from being North-South to East-West.
And there we sat for the day, quietly waiting for things to settle down. Bob and I entertained ourselves by dinghying into the beach, collecting some coconut palm trees to bring home and plant in our backyard and cleaning some conch Bob had collected earlier in the week.
