Wind & Waves

Warderick Wells Cay
Exumas , Bahamas



We have had a windy day up to 20 knots. Lee's back is still hurting so when Handleys went to the park office to pay for their mooring I went with them and paid for ours. There were some shirts and Judy and I got one each. We looked at whale skeletons that had beached here and died. The larger one had died from eating plastic discarded in the ocean.

After a wet dinghy ride to the boat I retied the mooring ball the way you are supposed to do it. Lee could not do what I did with his back.

Later in the day Handleys braved the waves & wind again to bring me birthday cake. Carrot cake which is my favorite cake. That was sure a surprise, a very nice one. Thanks Judy 🎂😄

We had VHF radio for a while today but back to nothing again. The hand held vhf is worthless too. The battery is down and the charger will not charge it. We do not know if the charger or battery is at fault but our plan A & plan B are both out now and have no plan C. Not crazy about crossing the Gulf Stream and sailing off shore with no radio communication. Here we do not even have cell phone for back up.

Murphy's Law. What can go wrong will go wrong.

Not quite dark and expecting a rolly rough night.
