Round two (strong cold front) appears to be in the making somewhere to
the north and/or west of us. According to the weather gurus, the next
cold front to drop in on the Bahamas is 7 maybe 8 days away according to
yesterday's predictions. Realizing the time frame and the vast
enormity of variables, for example mother nature changing her mind, the
predictions are for a sustained influence (days) of weather from the W,
NW and N. In the above weather map, to the trained eye, is the bad boy that will be effecting the changes this weekend in the south Bahamas. They, the weather gurus, are predicting light/strong winds
for many days but the exact number of days has yet to be determined.
About the only thing that really catches our attention is the direction
of the wind, anything from the S clocking through to N and the wind
speeds. So, once again, as with the previous blow, we'll be making the
necessary preparations and moving the boat about 2 miles to the north
into Thompson Bay. After the previous blow last weekend, we had moved
the boat back down to Salt Pond because yours truly was not happy with
our anchor set in the west side of Thompson Bay when the winds shifted
back to the east, and we were faced with a lot of fetch out of the
east. As we move the boat to Thompson Bay we will be looking to anchor
in the eastern section of the bay where the bottom has a little more
bite. Our moving of the boat today may sound a little premature of a
blow 6 days from now, but you would be surprised how many boats will
come to Thompson Bay because of the protection it offers. On the west
side of Long Island, Thompson Bay may be the only safe harbor.
Have you ever seriously thought about living your dream? We did and now we are full time cruisers onboard M/V Big Run. Everyday is a new page to be written in our ship's log as we travel to new places and revisit some ol' favorites. Come along and share our experiences and journeys.
