March 3, 2009- Manjack Cay Anchorage

Manjack Bay Anchorage

Position: N26º 48’.595 W077º 21’849

We are currently anchored in Manjack Cay, north of Green Turtle Cay. Winds were forecasted to be from the NE tonight, but instead they are from the west and we are bouncing and surfing in the anchorage. There is one house here on Crab Cay with an open router so we have internet! Who would have thought. We tried our hand at fishing today for the first time but nary a nibble. The passage through the Whale Cay today was bouncy but thankfully non-eventful. We followed Tomlin Too from Marsh Harbour to here and are planning to stay put for another day to explore the beautiful beaches here. We were treated to a magnificent sunset tonight and the crew from Tomlin Too came over to enjoy 5:00 pm happy hour aboard Long Gone.

The weather looks great for the remainder of the week (quite unusual) so we may cross over Saturday or Sunday into the States. If it’s cold, we’ll stay in FL, if it’s mild, we’ll start the trek back to NC. We miss you!!!!

Hi Guys
Hope you have a pleasant crossing.
We left Green Turtle at 6:30 AM, went north of Great Sale, north of Memory Rock and arrived at Ft. Pierce the next morning. Tried to miss a front but bumped into it in the Gulf Stream. Hope your crossing will be a little flatter.
