Sandy Point Cove, Great Inagua, Bahamas

After all the excitement of the "half fish", we tried to find an anchorage at Molasses Reef....but the skies were overcast and we actually hit some coral with the boat!  First time for that - Duane was on lookout and I was at the helm, probably going a little too fast for conditions.  I trusted the 3 different chartplotters I had in front of me showing no coral.  Learned my lesson, backed away from the coral and got out of there! 

So, we all decided to continue back to Sandy Point Cove where we know there is a good anchorage about an hour further.

Had to go thru a good rain shower to get here.

Some local fishermen stopped by our boat to say hello.  We had seen them yesterday on the north end of the island.  Chatted with them a bit - they were proud of their lobster/conch catch.  The guy in the yellow asked to bum a cigarette....we told him that we didn't smoke.  Together we and the other two guys agreed that he should stop that habit!  Nice fellows.

But soon the skies cleared a bit and we had a nice calm evening.

Everyone was a bit mellow from the sail and rain....and for once, we decided to skip the dinner hour!  We'll pick that back up tomorrow.   Was a good time to eat some leftovers and enjoy a quiet evening.
