Cat Cay on to bimini

We left the cursed anchorage in Nassau and had a pleasant ride to Chubb Cay. The original intention was to continue on to the banks and spend the night there but the forecast called for heavy squalls so we stayed put in the marina.

Yesterday we left at 6:30 because we knew we had a very long ride. The plan was to go to Bimini but there were awful storms to the north of us, we manage to skirt them by heading further South to Cat Cay. We had planned to turn North from the Cat Cay waypoint, but the Sweet Tides saw a big storm coming on their Sirius and in spite of my protests at the outrageous price of the marina here we came in. Just in time too, because as soon as we had tied up it poured and gusted to 30 knots.

The approach to Cat Cay was also awful because it was dead low tide and we showed nothing under our keel quite often. It looks as if we will be able to cross on Wednesday, so we will move to Bimini where the marina costs a dollar a foot rather than the 4.50 they charge here!
