Staniel cay Bahamas

We sailed from black settlement to Staniel cay to seek protection from another westerly and northerly wind event. This anchorage offers some protection and over 100 boats have moved into this anchorage area for the 2 day 30 plus knot blow.

We were able to do a hike on staniel one afternoon and the first afternoon we took two trips to the fuel dock to get more diesel and fuel for the outboard. Getting to town via the dinghy thru a raging current cut and high waves created from wind against current.

Everyone has mentioned that we have experienced a wind event every week now that last 1-3 days for the past three weeks. Maybe 4 events now that require moving to a protected spot and hiding out for a few days and even getting off the boat can be challenging.

Heavy winds all night and all day
