We took advantage of the light air to sail up to Black Cay which hadn’t been possible when the winds were strong, dropping anchor about noon for a brief stop en route to Lee Stocking. Black Cay was beautiful, with a nice sandy beach with coconut palms. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find anything but grass for snorkeling so we went to the beach and decided to snorkel the edge of the cay. This turned out to be the best decision as we found some super coral heads in about 3 feet of water and pieces of a broken up boat including a propeller. At 2:00 pm, we left Black Cay under power for Lee Stocking Island and inched our way across some shallows as it was low tide, finding room to anchor right off an abandoned marine research center. We walked around the many buildings that included marine research labs that had been used by several US universities ten years prior.
