The count down is on, and interested in any recent scoops on soundings in White Bay ( Jost ) in front of Ivans. ( thru the far right hand nav buoys ( navaids ) aid pass, toward Ivans.
Moored here several times before Irma and clearance from keel to sand was in the OK DEPT. We always snorkeled the mooring, and checked the clearance and the condition of the mooring.
Our jenneau 36i ( mono hull ) draws about 6.6 feet . ( Bareboat with Conch ) . Not sure how the depths have established themselves ;lately. post Irma...
ETA for Jost, and White Bay would be around May 22, 2019. ( after diamond cay ). Generally fairly settled conditions If jost is open to the seas and winds, we just pass....head to Canegarden Bay..
Current plan is moor at daimond cay or the bee line, ( party down ) and the next day, possibly little or great harbor and taxi, or walk over to White Bay.
White Bay is really one of our faves, and if possible would like to moor there for a day and evening. But, not at the expense of running aground. We do have legs and taxi fare.
Any recent experiences would be appreciated.
Thank you

6’6” is going to be tough at low tide. If you get a swell or pop up thunderstorm you will be dropping the keel on the bottom. I used to go in there often with 5’11” keel and rarely had much room to spare. G

Thank everyone,
Back to the Original Plan
Erica really likes Diamond Cay, and I want to go over to the B Line as well.
Then, Lobster dinner at Harris's , or Abe's in little harbor. ( All that depends on the winds and seas.)
If we wish , we can taxi over to White Bay.
We have never had a thunderstorm in May, but we have had some low visibility rain, and some strong wind and waves during our two weeks. Last trip , we noted strong winds, and seas, rolling into all of the harbors and bays of Jost..... We checked our Diamond Cay, Little Harbor and Great Harbor, and decided that Jost was not tennable for us
We sailed over to Canegarden Bay. Those strong winds were evident as we entered the pass, but once in the lee of the mountains, it totally calmed down to near flat, smooth. No problems with any seas, swells, or wrap around.
Thanks again, looks like the original plan will be the best.
Thanks again
Denny and Erica
