It was a bit rolly last night and
when we got up this morning it was still rolling. Daniel said, “you look a little green around
the gills”. Time to find another
anchorage. We left a little later today
because I was able to pull myself together long enough to make blueberry
pancakes with sausage. Then it was a
short 3 hour ride to Cambridge Cay. To
get into Cambridge Cay we had to go all the way around Bell Island. Not usually a big deal. As I usually do, I got out on the bow and
watched for coral so as we were making our way around Bell Island, I went to
the bow on watch. Rocks were also a
concern, so I had lots to look for. We
had to go by the opening to the Atlantic Ocean and the waves and current were
unbelieveable. I was still on the bow
and that was the stupidest thing to do.
The waves were so huge, with the valleys and peaks that at one point our
anchor (that is just ahead of where I’m standing) was under water. Daniel said my feet were under water. I was holding on for dear life. There was one point I thought I was going
over, but didn’t. Well, if it doesn’t
kill you, it makes you stronger (and smarter).
I’m not doing that again! The
anchorage is really nice and in a protected area. I just went out to watch the sunset and saw a
manta ray swim by. Nice ending to the
day.
