Sailing Along Exumas by Sailing JAEKA, week 9

To take a right decision whether we are staying at Staniel Cay or sailing back to Chub Cay was not an easy one. Because of the depression (at that time) was moving right on us, we had to evaluate it according to our boat, our anchorage, and our knowledge on these kind of situations. Finally we decided to move just a mile away to have a sand bottom, this way anchors would go deeper in a sand creating secure stay. Jack decided to put two anchors, main one and the second one was attached to the chain of the main one. Finally we got maximum 32 knots of wind with some rain after. We also sailed to Warderick Wells where we discovered blowing holes (which were out of the order at that time :) and enjoyed an amazing view of turquoise water along Exumas. Few days after we met a couple, Alex & Melissa, who had almost same boat as us. Alex gave us few snorkeling and diving lessons and caught a big snapper. It was very nice of them to share with us a fish, it was really delicious one. We understood that in the Bahamas we can catch fish only being under the water.....so we will see how we can handle that in future :) If you really, really like this episode, please become a patron at: https://www.patreon.com/sailingJAEKA Your generous help will allow us to maintain and upgrade our boat as well as keeping us in a good shape and mood :) You can also support us by purchasing Kateryna's handmade crochet beachwear at: https://theswimweartags.com/ She is a "crocheter" as well, making all her handiwork right on a boat.
