Excerpted from an email to the Editor
We left Green Turtle yesterday due to up coming weather. Didn't want to spend another five days there. We stopped outside the Marsh Harbor anchorage to make water and then came in. We were not here an hour when a squall came through -- high gusts clocked 60.
A large sail boat broke loose and was coming at us just as ours let loose. John, as quick as he is, started the engine and pressed the anchor up button at the same time. Got away from the boat and all the others piling up behind us. Had to anchor in the channel and stayed there until the wind died a little. We then moved around the anchorage and didn't see any desirable spots. We called Marsh Harbor and they graciously stayed open long enough for us to get tied up in an inside slip, dink being towed and wind just a blowin. Anyway had enough excitement for one trip. Doing wash--all the towels we have with us. Today is an all-day rain/wind day. All is good!!
