We are still in Warderick Wells. We have had somewhat of a weather change. The good news is that we are no longer starting our day in long pants and jackets! We have had lots of wind both in the daytime and at night.
Yesterday we went hiking on the island with our friends Lori and Gordon from "Awesome Asset". We hiked up some steep rocks and were able to enjoy the beauty of the islands and beaches that surround our anchorage.
Because we keep a close ear to the weather report each morning, we were prepared for the rainstorm that blew in early this morning. Bill was really prepared and hoping that it would be a "coconut dropper". He had figured out a water catchment system for our boat a few years ago and never had the opportunity to try it out. He was like a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa Claus! Well, we got quite a bit of rain and we are happy to report that he had enough water to wash down the boat and do a little laundry. Doing laundry on the boat consists of a bucket of soapy water and an additional bucket of rinse water. Fortunately, the storm was short lived and we were able to get the clothes dry on the lifelines.
This evening we went to a little gathering on the beach that was sponsored by the park. We met many fellow cruisers who are in our anchorage. It is fairly windy tonight so they had to cancel the bonfire.
Our plan is to leave here tomorrow (Sunday) and head to Norman's Cay. It's an old drug runner's haven. We don't know where or when our next internet access will be. We will do our best to update this blog.
