What a great day we had today. The weather being unexpectedly fine, we did a bit of sailing. 12-15 kts. in the morning 1-2ft waves and no noticeable swell, we sailed a leg north almost halfway to Anegada and jibed south until we dropped sails in the lee of Cockroach Island and took a NP buoy at Great Dog. Both legs had the AW right on the beam.

Conditions at Great Dog were better than I remember them since before Irma. Visibility was 80-100ft, surge was minimal and either the coral is recovering or just looked so much better. Great Arch beckoned for a swim-through, but caution prevailed.

From there we sailed downwind a bit to Marina Cay and made another stop at Diamond Reef, which was also very very nice, only a little rough in the 15-18 kt. SE wind conditions.

Then a close reach back to CIBC for some paddleboarding and dinner aboard.
