We are anchored right infront of David Copperfield’s island of Rudder cut. We spent the morning hiking more on Lee stocking island and sailed 11 miles up to rudder cut later in the afternoon. We moved up the chain of islands for a change and weather clocking that will occur in the next few days.
The wind has clocked to a north west direction and the only anchorages available offer poor protection from west or north winds so we have been bouncing and rolling on our anchor for about a day now along with a few other boats here. Finding west and north wind protection is hard in the Exumas in this area. Tomorrow the winds should decrease and clock more north and then easterly. As a sailor in the Bahamas you spend much of your time sailing to destinations based on protections and often have to hang at a location for 1-3 days while winds clock around.
Once the 2 day wind event ended, we were able to do a lot of snorkeling at rudder and snorkel the famous piano mermaid underwater statue. We sailed in the afternoon up to cave cay.
