Staniel Cay

We traveled overnight from Great Harbor Cay on a pretty calm weather window. However, we were traveling SE into the prevailing SE trades here, so wind and waves were on the nose most of the time.

When we arrived, we stopped to get fuel and found ourselves in the queue of 4 boats plus one at the dock. About an hour and a half later, we were at the dock. During that time, we had to keep on station as vessels maneuvered through the narrow channels, in and out of anchorages, the fuel dock, the moorings, and slips.

Unfortunately, as we left the dock, our newly repaired steering link failed again. This new part was thinner than the original and I had my doubts, now confirmed. I'm switching to a beefy stainless part. I have to get these parts imported via air freight, so we'll have to stick close to Staniel for a bit.Läs mer
