2022-03-27 Black Rock to Fowl Cay to Pipe Creek to Marina Channel to Big Majors

 Lots of moving this week - all due to weather.

We had a good time at Black Rock Settlement and due to Kris's back injury, stayed and just hung out on the boat for 3 more days.  After a couple of days of not moving much, Kris felt good enough to walk into town.  We checked out the blow hole, which had a lot more water this time, and had a nice lunch out.  The local friendly cat kept us company throughout lunch, as well as  2nd grade student who was on lunch break from the local school.  Made for a good lunch out.

With Kris's back a bit better and the weather changing, we decided to move anchorage, as south winds were coming and Black Point is not good for southerlies.

We moved a whole miles north to Fowl Cay, figured it would be good for the SE to S winds.  We were only partially correct, as  we had a surge in the anchorage for two days.  Wasn't bad though, and we had good internet so just hung out on the boat.  When the winds predicted to go northerly though, we moved, as Fowl is not good in northerlies, so we upped anchor and moved to Pipe Cay, a trip of 4 miles.  Spent a very rolly, somewhat sleepless night, and next morning decided to find a better spot for the continuing north winds.     Moved another 5 miles south to Sampson Cay, and yes the roll was less, until the current and winds opposed, then it got choppy, and we swung a little close to a cliff.  No issues, but we also had no internet, so we moved again a whole 2 miles south to Big Majors.  Finally, no roll.   

Storm clouds coming in, might get some rain.

Nice sunset at Sampson Cay, Marina Channel

At Big Major, we got off the boat, first time in 5 days.  Went to beach, and took short walk up the hill.

Also at Big Major, we got to reconnect with Rita on "Como No".  She had also fallen and hurt her back, so Kris and her sympathized with each other.     Winds should go to the NE soon so we will move again.
