I went out on Valkyr with Angela and Zsanic yesterday. We were planning to go sailing but everyone on the boat was tired and the weather was really kicking. I would have been an challenging time sailing so we all voted to just anchor out behind Bird Island and grill some steaks and sausage. 🙂 It was the right choice!!!! The wind started out about 20 knots and we were gusting to 30 knots by the end of the day. It would have been some fun sailing but a lot of work.
We spent most of the day at anchor watching the antics of the power boaters out there. To be honest they just about stressed us out a few times. Several came real close to cutting our anchor line with their props. A group of 3 and then 4 boats that were rafted up drug their anchor about 40 yards and never even noticed till will told them. They finally stopped dragging after three of the four boats put down an anchor.
This same group also seemed to see the inlet as a trash can as they deliberately kept throwing empty bottles and cans overboard. I wanted to holler at them but took the easy way out and just kept my mouth shut. They had been drinking pretty steadily all afternoon and It probably wouldn’t have been a nice confrontation. The one boat that I noticed the name on was called “Waterproof” so if anyone from waterproof sees this “you guys need to take back to the dock what you bring out” quit littering!
Overall though it was a great day. I spent a bit of it just kicked back reading and just hanging out with Zsanic and Angela.. Most of the conversation revolved around not going back home but just heading for Bermuda or the Bahamas..
