Great Sale Cay-Moraine Cay - Apr 8-9

Monday morning we departed Great Sale Cay and traveled 30 miles east to Moraine Cay. We made our way to the well documented anchoring area on the east side of the island. After inspecting our anchor on the bottom we found our hold to be marginal and would not want to spend the night. Anchoring in the Bahamas can be somewhat tricky so it’s important to snorkel or dinghy over the anchor to inspect its hold.  Hard bottom-under a thin layer of sand - not good. Grassy bottom - marginal. Sandy bottom - the anchor digs in and the Captain sleeps well.   East winds were expected through the night so we took the dinghy around to the west side of the island to see if we could get the mother ship to this uncharted area.  It was skinny and it was shallow but we found a route we were comfortable with.  We moved the PV2, dropped and inspected the anchor on a nice sandy bottom, then settled in to enjoy the afternoon and evening. We were all alone in this piece of paradise.

We’ve said it before and may say it again - Best Anchorage Ever!
