Lynyrd Cay

Our next stop (after a VERY bouncy trip) was Lynyrd Cay.  We anchored and immediately went to the beach, where the dogs romped and the girls searched for sea glass.

We decided to visit Pete's Pub in Little Harbour the next day for lunch.  We had a great trip to Little Harbour, doubling up in the faster dinghies since it was a long ride.  The pub was decorated with t-shirts (and some shorts and boxers and hats -- how do you leave a pub when all your clothing is hanging on the wall?) left by previous patrons.  The lunch was great, the gallery next door had impressive sculptures (with impressive price tags), and it was a beautiful day -- so beautiful that we'd all left the windows and hatches open on our boats. 

no nonsense here!

the calm before the storm

When Rusty noticed the sky was getting darker and darker in the direction of our boats, we jumped into the dinghies and sped back.  It was like riding a mechanical bull under a waterfall -- especially when we stopped and the wall of water washed over the fronts of the dinghies.  We made it back before getting a free interior boat wash, but just barely!  The storm was pretty rowdy; our anchor drug so much during the 40 mph winds and 4-5' seas that Jay had to drive against the wind until it was over to keep from dragging into another boat or onto the rocks.  We did need the free boat wash after the trip from Spanish Wells, but not necessarily a pressure wash and blow dry.
