Strong Winds Force us to Hangout at Rudder Cut Cay

We anticipated strong winds so we chose to ride out the blow under the protection of Rudder Cut Cay. Just as we dropped anchor on Wed .around 11:00 am, the winds picked up to 20 knots out of the east with gusts to 25-30 knots so we “chilled” Wednesday and much of Thursday while the blow continued.  We managed to swim to the cave, snorkel the mermaid and the piano statue, do yoga on the coconut palm beach, and catch up on our book reading. Unlike last time we were at Rudder Cut Cay when there were about 20 boats, this time we were one of about six boats in the anchorage, Coq en Pate being one of the others. We’d met Paul of “Coq en Pate” with his family on Long Island and Paul dinghied over as he wanted to pick our brains about what he might expect further north.  We were happy to oblige and to exchange conversation about L’Orient, France from where his catamaran was built and they started their journey.
