With no ill effects from the night before, we prepared to move up to Staniels Cay. Again we trailed the dingy. With the winds blowing 10 to 18 from the south / southeast, we had a following swell. Both the boat and the dingy surfed down the waves. Dennis and Mary had left about an hour ahead of us, but since we were retracing our routes, it was no problem getting back. We anchored in the same place next to the grotto, in shallow water, and took stock of our supplies. This time the anchorage was crowded, with some 15 to 20 boats in front of us.
We dingyed ashore, and went to see if there was any bread at the Emeralds. None today, but they were making some for tomorrow. We headed to the government dock, and Beth picked up a large conch shell. Back at the boat, we decided that we would get water and fuel tomorrow as it was still windy, and offloading the water and gas tanks would not be easy in the bumpy water. Dinner was fish and broccoli as we watched another beautiful sunset descend upon the anchorage. Dennis took some great shots of our boat silhouetted in the sunset. He even avoided capturing this large motor yacht that was lit up like a starship. After some discussion between us, we decided that we would go to Compass Cay tomorrow, although some were thinking of going to Samson Cay for the party they were having.
