Thanks for the scoop on that Northerly swell. Appears to be generated by low pressure area way up to the north . I cannot seem to find any definitive info on the size of the swell. , except guesses at a couple feet or less.. Would appreciate any info you have on that.
We have also been looking at the East to S.E. winds as well. only about 10 to 15 mph , Good sailing .
Last trip , pre Irma, all of Jost was totally open to the strong E winds, and wind waves . Very uncomfortable. After cruising thru the anchorages, we passed and headed over to Cane Garden. Calm in the lee of the mountain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This trip for Jost, we are going to try Diamond Cay, and mooring there or near the B- line. Should be protected from the swells by the reefs between Jost and Little Jost, and between Litttle Jost and Green Cay.
Other plan, if that is not tenable, alternate plan for Jost is Little Harbor , well up at Abes. We can taxi to white bay or the Taboo at Diamond Cay, or maybe walk. Scoop is, Abe's has da kine for lobster. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are limited as to the shallower anchorages due to our monster 6.5 ft. draft. No Anegada, no White Bay at Jost.
Keeping the good luck charm attitude, that everything will be just fine for you all, and others who will be there at this time. .
On the big iron, tomorrow evening ( Sat ) . Boat on the 15th .
Hope our wakes will cross.
Best to you and your crew
Denny and Erica
