Great Guana Cay – Little Joes Point

I thought the settlement at Green Turtle Cay was a quaint little town. As I mentioned, the people are incredibly friendly and on the whole quiet lovely. We anchored in White Sound. However, it is a very tight anchorage that allows little scope on the anchor rode, therefore it is not a place I can recommend if the winds might be in the 30’s. Even if you take a mooring, you will have several anchored boats around you that may drag.
The winds came on strong at about 2 am with thunderstorms. They quieted down to about 15-20 knots from the NNW when we left the sound in the morning. The wind direction was across Whale Cay Channel. It was a good romp down to and through the cut. The tide was at slack flood when we sailed through Whale Cay cut and just starting to ebb as we turned into Loggerhead Channel. It was rough, but manageable. We sailed right up to the anchorage. We had done so much motor sailing lately, I forgot how much I prefer to have the motor off.
Tonight the winds have clocked around to the NE and quieted down to just a breeze. It should be a much more enjoyable night although the low will be 59F.
We are out of our mahi mahi. We have plenty other food, we just so enjoy fresh fish that we are inspired to do something about it.
Love to all,
Dena
