FRONT
This comes from Normans Cay where we have just spent a bouncy night as a tasty little front rattled through at about 02.00hrs. It's now just after lunch and having lost its puff the clouds have opened up for a lovely warm sun. A nice contrast to the cool northerly breeze that follows the front.
I don't like to rely in anchor alarms for I always think that by the time it has stumbled you on deck half asleep it's too late. Better to give up some sleep and see the lovely Pearl through the worst of it from the protection of the cockpit. A view that was underlined when I belted over to a ketch that was fast dragging onto a sandbar. Bumping alongside my warning shout was met with the startled, and somewhat indignant retort that 'the anchor alarm hasn't gone off'.
A flurry of activity had the engine roaring, the anchor hoisted and dropped in a better spot. No sooner had things settled and the alarm went off. Electronics are great but they are not infallible.
Normans Cay is a safe haven with lovely snorkeling and a bar that has broadband connectivity and so here I am updating the blog after a prolonged period with limited connectivity.

Shark
This Nursing Shark adopted us and seemed to enjoy Christmas left overs. Its skin is amazingly rough when you give it a rub.
