It is Blowing a STINK here as they say.

The wind came in right before 6 am. I heard the wind generator start to hum and it hasn't stopped. This morning was just breezy but still averaged around 20 mph. Now 20 is when it slows down. We are securely tied to a mooring at the Land and Sea Park which has a reputation of taking good care of their moorings. I sure hope so because if ours breaks we will be on the rocks before we could do anything to stop it. We did take a little hike up to Boo Boo Hill this morning before it got to bad. Neat place, with mementos left from former cruisers. This is the only place where you are allowed to leave anything in the entire park. There is a lot of history here and the hikes are interesting and definitely require good shoes or the lime stone will eat your feet . We were almost alone here this morning but 2 more boats came in to get out of the wind. With all this wind the boat motion isn't to uncomfortable. We have more wind than we did in Bimini but are more protected. We hope to get out a little more tomorrow and get more pics from this beautiful place.
Spray from waves crashing against the rocks going out to the channel.

Boo Boo Hill may look a little like a high school bonfire before it's lit
but it is a special place for cruisers. we hope to get back up here to add
Stray Cat's memento before we leave.

In the belly of the Whale. Literally. Exhibit at the park.

This guy comes around every evening and met us not ten minutes after we snagged the mooring.
