Cat Island is beautiful

We are anchored in Cat Island just past Alligator point after a slow motor sail beating into the light wind. No alligators to be seen. :}  We were more exposed to the open seas today.
The sea swells where large, very large and at times seemed as high as the boat, but she just sailed right over them. The weather has gotten slightly cold, in the high 70's today, but with the winds, it was chilly at times.
We entered the area in caution, I kept watch for rocks in the swedish chair on the bow. Tons and tons of coral reefs surround these islands as well as partially submerged rocks, keeps you on your toes. We anchored in an area suggested by Active Captain and Navionics, great holding in the sand.  There is a nice simple resort here with seperate housing with paths right to the beach, ahh the life.
Chopper and I took a swim to the beach after we anchored at 5pm today. This is the most beautiful beach we have seen since being in the Bahamas. I picked up a few small shells while chopper left some dna in the bushes, then we swam back to the boat where Greg was tidying up. Its was a good workout after being on the boat for a few days, its always a feat to keep the boston terrier off your head, he thinks he's a drowning victim at times. Greg lets him ride on his back, I couldn't get the hang of it and felt like a drowning victim myself. Chopper does enjoy his trips to shore.
We will take off early in the morning again to head toward Rum Cay depending on the winds. Sail we must!
