I woke up with the sun again, I don’t know why I got up so early – no wakes had gone through yet and the wind and waves had calmed to make the boat very stable and calm. But get up I did and checked my e-mails while drinking the first coffee of the day. I checked the weather sites and realized that the passage weather for St. Martin wasn’t going to get much better. The wind was going to come at 10-12 knots from ESE (bad direction, good speed) and the waves were going to settle into a 1.5m swell at 12 seconds so I got the anchor up, motored to Gun Creek, completed my clearance formalities and then motored back to the Leverick anchorage. This time I found the 15 foot deep sand bank and anchored on that, it is pretty far upwind of the main anchorage so getting out tonight at midnight should be a simple affair unless someone decides to anchor in front of me during the afternoon.
