Cave Cay Marina May 15 - 17

Our plan was to anchor at Farmers Cay for a quiet nighat anchor, but we could not find a good spot due to strong currents and decided to continued on to Cave Cay where most of the PDQ fleet was already docked.
You enter Cave cay through a narrow dredged channel which was cut into the rock to allow access to the tranquil lagoon. You are suddenly in a different world on the other side.

Entrance to Cave Cay Marina
We tied up to the dock and it was time for the cocktail party to begin.

Dick as the Captain
Cave Cay is a wonderful place in that they had free washing machines, free showers, a garden that provided tomatoes, peppers and limes.  This is also where are next scheduled PDQ dinner / pot luck event was to be held.

Saturday started with jumping on Traveller II and heading out for another fishing trip, Alaska Gypsea was already out trawling – Suddenly, one reel started wheezing and JP grabbed the rod to reel in a barracuda.
John reached for the gaff but the handle came loose and John jumped in the water to rescue the gaff with the barracuda still hooked and squirming on the side of the boat !!!!!
What are you thinking ???
 Barracudas are smelly and have potential for cigaterra, but the locals love it, so we gave it to them.


Upon returning we found that His Idea, Tiger, Feline Purrfect, Tar City Star, and Mega Marine had departed for Georgetown. JP was ready to also get going to GT, but Diane was dragging her feet and really did not want to leave.  As were saying our goodbyes to Heron, it started to rain and rain and rain ... Diane had her wish and we stayed another day.
By 8:30 the next morning we were heading out all on our own to Georgetown, with all remaining PDQs at Cave Cay stayed, they would wait a day before starting their journey North back home.

This is goodbye, until next time
