Unfortunately, the wind and swells shifted to the south east, which was making the anchorage feel a little uncomfortable. We decided to head back to our original anchorage to see if it was better there. It was not, so we tried to drop our anchor next to a destroyed hotel, which appeared to receive some protection from the swells. Unfortunately, that area was not very calm either so around 11:30a Steve decided that we should head back to Antigua. I took some seasickness medicine immediately and my stomach was fine. Unfortunately, even though the Bonine says it is non-drowsy, and I only took half a tablet, it knocked me out and I slept through most of the ride.
We had to watch out for reefs as we neared the North Sound, but once through them, we were in familiar waters and knew exactly where to go to anchor. Steve looked at the anchorage near Bird Island and then veered off to between Rabbit and Lobster islands. We are the only boat here, which is a little unusual. However, the water is calm and the wind is light and steady. We are enjoying it while it lasts. The winds are predicted to shift and we may need to move the boat to find a more protected area.
