January 18

January 18
This morning we were up at 6:30 but didn't manage to get moving until after 8:30. C-Soul decided to stay in March Harbour so we set out on our own. Passed by Modaki to say goodbye, as well.
 We had great motoring weather!!   No wind, flat seas and brilliant sunshine all day.
When we got north of Lynyard Cay, we were surrounded by sailboats heading south so we went outside and sailed [ok, motored] down the ocean.  They probably thought we were insane. We had great soft swells and less than 1 meter [3 foot] waves...boring!
We decided that we would not do an overnight to Egg Island because even boring can be tiring, and we seriously need a shower!!
We turned into Cherokee sound...the water is crystal clear...there is NO swell to speak of right now and a friggin' long liner pulls in behind us and anchors in front of us!!!  So much for the privacy of a cockpit shower!!!
The water is 24 degrees down here. [It was 20.2 in Marsh Harbour] so we will go for a swim and wash off with soap when we are done. Hopefully they won't be cleaning fish while we swim here!!!

 
Watching the anchor chain

Cool cave on the beach beside us

Fishing boat looking for a good anchorage
Update: Swim/bath accomplished but its just not as good with a bathing suit on!
