Tuesday 09 March –White Point – Hawksbill Cay 35 miles.

We planned to head up to Fowl Cay, a very up scale resort island ($2,000 per day to rent a cottage…) to have their famous 5 course dinner with open bar for $100 per person. Maria called them to make reservations and, as it turned out, we managed to pick the one day of the year when the chef had a day off. We were so looking forward to a big spread so no big nose bag was had by the Querencia Crew.

Change of plan again, we knew another mild front was due in a couple of days so we decided to head north to Hawksbill Cay, one of our favorite places. We had moored here before during Christmas with good protection from the fronts.

About 10 miles from the destination we heard s/v Dana chatting on the VHF radio. We had first met Dana on out first day of our cruise in the Dismal Swamp on the Virginia & North Carolina border. We hailed Dana and it turned out that they were in the southern mooring field at Hawksbill, along with s/v My Whim. We promptly changed our plans again and headed to the southern field.

Cocktails on Dana at 5:00 after a long day at sea.
