We started our stay anchored south of the main anchorage and dinghy dock. This put us in range to enjoy the super loud tunes during a fundraiser and come ashore to sample the kabob plates they were selling! The kids enjoyed that while we dug into some conch salad just up the street. While in town we’ve also tried Louis Delights, Sammy’s, and Frigate’s, and would recommend them all!
Land excursions took us to the airport immigration office (you can almost dinghy right to it!), Boiling Hole, Cathedral Cave (a.k.a. Spider Cave), and the Ocean Hole, where you can easily go for a dip in the 600’ deep hole with lots of fishies! We’ve swam a bit, too, but this weather has mostly been conducive for chores, cooking, games, and movies!
We also celebrated the 2nd Mate’s birthday while here. In fact, it was her decision that we stay here for the big blow rather than head to Hatchet Bay. We moved up into the main anchorage and dropped the hook due west of Frigate’s—she had chosen that restaurant for her birthday dinner so it was super convenient!
It’s been blowing over 20 knots for more days than I can count, with gusts nearing 30. Yesterday our dodger/bimini connector zipper had some stitching fail, but I had it patched up, albeit not with matching thread, in less than five minutes. Today we did some errands in town and once we get our propane tank back tomorrow we will start to look for a good time to creep north!
