After having re-provisioned and taken care of chores such as extending our Bahamian visas we were ready to get out of Marina Land and go anchor off a pristine beach somewhere. So we headed to Man-O-war Cay.
The holding wasn’t great so we reset the anchor a little closer to shore. We were all settled in when our neighbor dinghied over and informed us that he had anchored in the same spot and had snagged a submerged power line, well go figure we had snagged the same one! So here we are head by 220 volts wrapped in plastic yikes!
We bobbled about in our dinghy with our look-see bucket and surveyed the situation – there was the anchor with power cable and coral head combined – not fun stuff – Jorgen came up with the brilliant idea of using our dinghy danforth anchor to trip our main anchor – we just wanted to get off this cable ASAP!! The trick worked great and we reanchored Querencia in trouble free waters.
s/v Dana joined us the following day and we went walkabout on the island – very quaint places with great golf cart roads. Dinner celebrations aboard Querencia before Dana headed north on their return journey to the USA – safe travels Jim and Bonnie!
