Leaving this dock proved to be a challenge as we knew it would. It was somewhat windy and shallow getting around the poles. So we waited until high tide before leaving. It was still a tight squeeze so another boater got down his dinghy and came around to push our bow out from the dock, where the wind was pushing us into, and kept us going in the right direction. Amazing what other boaters will do to help out!
We traveled 18 miles to Orchid Bay Marina in Guana Cay. We had to go through an area called Whale Passage, which took us out into the Atlantic then back into the Sea of Abacos. The waves weren't so bad but it was still very windy. When we arrived at the marina, getting docked was a huge challenge. There were dock hands, plus several other boaters grabbing lines and pulling us in!
There are 2 famous restaurant/bars here and we have tried them both; Nippers and Grabbers. Both are very good, and of course the scenery is perfect! Our hope was to get our dinghy down and ride to these spots, but that didn't happen because of the weather. A storm with heavy rain and wind prevented that from happening. So we walked or rode bikes when it wasn't raining. It was always too windy for the dinghy..........We were on the end of the pier, so we got the heavy hits of the waves, and rocked so bad that we were up moving anything breakable or packing towels around glassware in cabinets. Two nights of this!!! Today is beautiful and calm and lots of boaters left. But we stayed to hopefully catch up on wifi duties. We are riding bikes back to Grabbers for another Guana Grabber b4 we leave. I've not had a rum drink in years, but these are awesome!!!
Today we leave for Little Harbor..................
