After the storm. We
were thankful to be done with the storm.
There were a few reports lost dinghies, a man also had to be taken to
Nassau to fix his partially severed finger.
He had gotten it caught between the chain and the boat while trying to
fix his anchor. We almost lost our
dinghy. It was tied to the side of our
boat and, periodically, it would take flight….motor and all. Interestingly, dinghies were being found and
returned to owners over the radio. Everyone
was being helpful trying to get things back to normal. There was one completely lost 26ft sailboat
that they rescued the people but the boat drifted off. They were on the bank side where the wind and
waves would have been very violent. Their
boat was later found sunk and partially exposed on the banks but we didn’t hear
where. 
We ended up going to the fabulous beach that we found yesterday. It was super. The sound side was calm and we snorkeled in the shallow water and found lots of sand dollars. It was a big difference to yesterday. We explored the entrance to Normans Cay Pond where another boat Isla Bonita was anchored in the storm. They were actually away from their boat during the storm as they were visiting a boat in our anchorage. It must have been a ‘nail biter’ thinking that your boat is unattended during the storm. When they returned in the morning, all was as they left it. Phew. They ended up leaving the pond and joining our anchorage that night. We ended up having a campfire together in the evening and reconnected after meeting them on both our trips.
