Located in French Cay, Caicos Bank

Today, we had a nice sail/motorsail ride for about 15 NM south, across the caicos bank. We decided to spend the night at French Cay since it was pointless to motor more and more into the wind. We were hoping that the next day would bring more favourable winds. The anchorage was next to nature reserve and it was beautiful. The water was clear and warm, you could clearly see the conch and other small snails on the sandy bottom with scattered rocks. That evening we enjoyed the cold drinks and went to bed with the beautiful sunset. Overnight, a squall came quickly and turned us around. For a second I thought it might be violent but it was not. The winds never got over 13kts. The next morning we got our fishing gear ready for a short ride over the deep water before crossing the south caicos bank and went on to South Caicos.
