The 5 Amigos broke camp and started heading for another anchorage called Great Sale. The wind was up a little and was shifting around the clock as it often does here in this part of the world. It was not too bad until we cleared Great Abaco Island and started in a more northerly direction. On Q's End spray was periodically hitting the windshield on our fly bridge. Really nasty especially since it was salt water running all over the boat. Nobody else was enjoying the ride so we decided to turn around and go back an hour to Spanish Cay. That was the closest anchorage or marina to our location.
Docking at Spanish was no bargain with the wind blowing as hard as it was but we all managed to get in safely and without any damage. We spent the rest of the day touring this private island and spending time in the pool and hot tub. We also spent a lot of time rinsing off the boats from all of the salt water sea spray.
It was a rough night sleeping because of the water slapping against the hull of the boat and the next morning did not appear any better. We were anxious to push on because the marina was charging prime season rates which meant $2.75 per foot plus $50 for electric plus metered water. The forecast was improving through the day so we decided to leave about 11:30 for the anchorage at Great Sale.
Sorry no photos of Spanish Cay this time or from the first visit.
