There is no settlement on this Cay. Just rock and mangroves. The beaches were breathtaking! We went all over and through the island. Storms started brewing so we took the Dink back to the Pearl and put her up top for the rest of our journey. Poor Dink...she's had a rough go of it. Front all banged up, cleats coming out, and her bottom is blistering! When we get her home she will get some much needed TLC from Phil...she was good to us and got us where we wanted to go!

| Hitching a ride on the Dink |
Friday we pulled anchor at 6:15 am....long 10 hour day of running!! The thunderstorms were all around us but we managed to stay clear of all but one little one. We went all the to New Providence and then turned to go to Chub Cay. At the beginning of our journey we made that a 2 day run. Anchored at Chub Cay and also anchored at New Providence.
As we were leaving New Providence we saw something in the water about 1/4 of a mile ahead of us. It was crossing in front of us...Phil got the bonaculars out and saw it was a submarine!!! This thing was huge...at least 400 ft. One of those big Navy ones! The Captain wanted to hail them on the radio!!! But the Admiral nixed that idea!! We are still reeling from seeing the Sperm Whales. ..now a submarine!!!
The ocean has amazed me this trip. I can't believe all of the beautiful and unusual things we have seen. It's like good ole' Jimmy says...."In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen!" We have been so blessed to be able to make a trip such as this!!! Still pinching myself!!!
Next on to Cat Cay.

Submarine !!!!! Wow, you should have hailed the Captain of the Sub!
ReplyDeleteWhen I picked up the Mike to call them, the Admiral freaked out and and submitted to her request. I thought it would be cool to talk with a submarine
