One Beautiful Anchorage After Another
Sunday 11 Jun 2006
Mike: 11 June
We slept like logs. The anchorage at Atwood harbour on Acklins Island was as calm as if we had been tied up at a slip. Somewhere around 9am, we finally mustered and got underway. Destination: Landrail Point on Crooked Island, an island anchorage of about 34nm distance to the west. Winds were light at less than 10kts and dead astern. The seas were relatively calm the entire trip. Today's highlight was the stingray that we disturbed as we dropped the hook in 13 ft of water over sand. So far, no other boats have passed us on our travels. We pretty much own the water.
Sitting at anchor enjoying a bottle of Shiraz, we watch the moon rise and illuminate our surroundings. Someone wondered about what might be happening back home. Frankly, nobody cared.
Tomorrow, we continue on our journey to Clarence Town on Long Island. It's only about 30nm distant so this should be an easy sail.
