When we left Georgetown we had a good weather window that would have put us in Turks and Caicos this afternoon with an overnight on Tuesday. But Tuesday Juan was tired and preferred to go into Rum Cay at night rather than sail all night. Yesterday, when the lady from one of the boats that was with us at Rum said she was going to Clarence Town to "wait for weather" because today it would be 17 knots on the nose all day with 5ft waves I was the one who said we should rethink our plans. And we did. We arrived at 4:30 at Pitts Towne in Acklins and spent the night facing a lovely beach on this island in the middle of nowhere.
Now we are going to go out and see what the ocean looks like. If it's bad we come back, if it's "doable" we will anchor in Atwood bay, the other end of Acklins and spend another quiet night: not a cruiser in sight.
