Windy Days, or How to Avoid Winter in the Snow

 
Lucky for us, we spent Thanksgiving with some very good friends, and although the strong winds kept some of the guests away, we certainly enjoyed the feast at the sweetest cottage ever on Big Sampson Cay.  Thank you Croc and Connie.






We had some nice weather to take us fishing back up to Hawksbill Cay, but alas, except for one hit, those fish were not taking our lures.  Once inside the Park boundaries, it is a no-take zone so we were quite content to do a drift dive (snorkel) and spy the underwater wonders.  Turtle, several different types of grouper, and many reef fish and pretty corals.

When the wind picked up, there were several very happy kiters, and a windsurfer who made use of the empty and open anchorage.





The arrival of the next front, shifting the wind around west sent us all back to Big Major's behind Staniel Cay.  Surprisingly, the anchorage remains relatively empty.  The sunsets from here are spectacular, and the small beaches allow us to throw together a Happy Hour.





Debi, Kristina and I have been busy in the mornings with various Betty Boot Camp activities.  If anything will get me in shape, these girls will!

When the wind is right, the kiters load up their gear and head out to Sandy Cay for some clean, good wind.



I'll stay back on Independence, for a little quiet time, and time to be productive.
