Hidey Hole

     Yesterday afternoon, after a few hours of beach combing, Sharon and I returned to the boat and within a matter of minutes decided it was time to move on.  We were at Plain Bay, our favorite Bahamian anchorage for the second time this season.  When you add the time from our first visit with the time of this last visit it totals 45 days.  Guess we do like that anchorage.  One of the things that has prompted us to move north is the next cold front swinging in from Florida.  If you read our last blog entry, Hell's Playbook, you'll understand part of our motivation to move onto, hopefully, a better protected anchorage.  Also, our trek north will be slow but with a purpose.  We are hoping to plan our arrival in Nassau with the expiration of our cruising permit.  While in Nassau we hope to get at least a 60 day extension.  Then if the weather cooperates, we will head north to the Abacos and hopefully connect with our buddy boat from last year, Broulee, where a new adventure will start in the Northern Bahamas.  But for right now, we have to concern ourselves with this next cold front and find a hidey hole.
