Long Cay, Crooked Islands, Bahamas

 We went for one last hike on Hog Cay....enjoyed the pretty ragged scenery because we won't see much of that on Crooked/Acklins where we're heading.

 

Sojourn all alone in our little bay.

We lifted anchor in the afternoon and staged near the cut for a 3pm departure.  This will put us near Crooked Island a little after daybreak.

 

 

 Out the cut near the government dock...it was an outgoing tide against a small easterly wind so just a little swell tossing the boat a bit.

 

 

Light winds, one motor on...sunset.

 

And before we knew it, sunrise!

 

We'll likely take a nap to catch up and explore a bit later.

Once the sun was up, we had no problem anchoring amongst the many little coral heads.  Looking forward to some snorkeling here as it's new to us!

Just off the back of the boat looking into the sun reflecting the wavelets in gin-clear water.  That's looking thru 15' of water (deeper than we normally anchor but there are too many coral heads here to get safely closer to shore and shallower water).
