  • Big Majors Spot - Day 4Woke up this morning to find that the best day to go to Thunderball Grotto would be today.

  • Big Majors Spot - Day 3Woke up this morning to strong winds and some rain although we are in such a lovely sheltered spot that the boat hardly rocks! We swing with the wind at times but tend to stay straight with minimal rocking. Not Posted by Drewfamily in Overseas trip 2012 | Feb 2, 2012

  • Staniel CayThe commute wasn't too bad. We upped anchor at Big Majors Spot at about 0930 because the marina said that slack water would be near 1030 and arrived just a few minutes ahead of that time having proceeded very slowly. Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Jan 28, 2012

  • Normans Cay - Day 3Had a change of plans today because of the predicted direction of the wind. Shroud Cay wouldn’t have provided us with enough protection from the wind in the spot we wanted to anchor so decided to stay here on Normans Posted by Drewfamily in Overseas trip 2012 | Jan 24, 2012
