Treasure Cay and Guana Cay

Thurs,Fri, 3-25-10, spent the past 2 days as typical boat bums. Walked the beach and wandered around town. Fri brought rain much of the day so we hung out doing chores and reading.

Sat- Sunny skies are back along with a brisk east wind. Beat to Bakers Bay on Guana Cay under a reefed main and full genoa. Spent the afternoon lazing on the protected beach. Anchorage was protected from the east wind but rolly during the night with swells coming in from the Loggerhead Channel.

Sun- With another cold front expected we sailed back to the protected anchorage at Treasure
Cay. Great run under just genoa. Now that we are in the central Abacoes numerous great anchorages are only a short daysail away.

Mon -As predicted winds are up around 20 and cloudy, squalls rolled thru late afternoon with 40 mph winds and heavy rain. Was able to catch enough rainwater to top off our tanks. Still experimenting with a raincatcher that works in the gale winds that seem to accompany the rainstorms. Lots of boats moved in to the anchorage(mostly 40+ ft charters) and we stayed on board all day.
