Pipe Creek and the High end district


We untied from the mooring and headed south with Improv for a  quiet anchorage  to recover from the night before.  12.92 NM and 2.5 hours Improv pulled in the U.S. Navy Decca Station where we could have tied up to a very long and high concrete wall, Not a very warm and welcoming sight.


An old military dump ... May be we can find better
Instead we  puttered around the corner and dropped anchor in a snug little cove. It was time for a nap.  It took us over an hour to realize we had the same rolly motion as we did the night before and this was not going to happen  a second night, so we pulled up anchor and headed for Rat Cay, Gusto – Sandy and Bob MacNeil suggested we stop at Rat Cay / Mice Cay for a look. 




When we came around the tip of Rat Cay and saw the area between us and Thomas Cay, we knew this would be a great evening.  The descriptions of the Cays starts out “The Most Beautiful………” 
The Pipe creek area is very protected and surrounded by small islands where luxury homes  are planted out of context. There is big  money and famous people here, but because it is shallow there is no room for big yachts.


Time  to check the anchor and see if the running gear is still attached
