Trip 2, Day 2
Day 2 began with us both waking up late and groggy. Neither of us were adjusted to getting up early yet. The weather wasn’t looking sunshiny, but it looked good enough to depart. We left around 10am. Slackers, I know!
Overall it was a pretty good day to be on the water. Not a whole lot of wind, which limited our sailing, but the weather was good. No rain or any suspicious clouds to avoid.
As usual, crabs pots were everywhere, so we had to dodge those for the majority of the trip. I hit one before we even crossed the Seven Mile bridge, so Chad had to jump overboard and free it from the boat. Left us a nice souvenir Jamaican color themed buoy though!
We encountered some dolphins for a little bit. But they were camera shy and wouldn’t allow me to take pics. I think I saw another one when it was getting dark, thanks to the biolumanesance. Of course, it could have been a not-so-sneaky shark, yikes!
We anchored down right outside of Little Snake river. Chad didn’t want to risk trying to get into the river. Very narrow and it was already dark when we arrived. Plus the Mosquitos were suppose to be terrible. And somehow, even anchored a thousand yards off shore they still know how to find you and bug you!
Overnight was good to us. I was a bit nervous being offshore for the night. It was the first time for me since we are usually in a channel, bay, river, or something. There was some occasional heat lightning and some stormy weather in the distance, but besides some bumpy waves, we were fine. And I had two fans in my cabin going full blast. Making last nights stay (slightly) more enjoyable than the night before!
So, one day and night down at sea. Hopefully the rest of the trip is just as smooth sailing. We should be getting closer to civilization which will bring joy to my electronic devices!
