Awaiting Favorable Winds; Beach Yoga; Sandy Toes on Rose Island

We’d wanted to sail SE to the Exumas with Sally but winds are still out of the SE today so we stayed put much of the day on Rose Island.  Good news is that a front should come through tonight and afterwards the winds should move to the NE enabling a pleasant sail tomorrow to the Exumas.  So Sally and I went ashore at Rose Island and did 45 minutes of yoga while Harry caught up with blog photos. Later we all explored Rose Island, landing at the Sandy Toes beach bar and adult playground but it was deserted as apparently, they are only open on weekends.  On the southern side of Rose Island, the winds were blowing the waves onto the rocky coastline making it too rough to snorkel so we snorkeled the northern side of the island then hauled anchor just as some threatening storm clouds were building to the SE.  We’d hoped to make it to Athol Island but instead, tucked into the eastern side of Nassau where it was a bit quieter than the western side of Nassau.  The front came through about dinnertime and the wind shifted out of the north as was I forecast.

Rum o'clock on Juno
