that is how is called, the entrance to the basin at great inagua, the last island of the bahamas. we tried to approach and unfortunately we got stock in the rocks. the boat was sitting on a big rock and was hitting badly for at least 1o very long and painful minutes. esteban jumped in the water and pushed the boat with the help of the waves while I was at the helm ready to leave full throttle as soon as the boat was released from the rock. after this we anchored, fixed the broken rudder with underwater epoxy and went to town by dinghy. this was a lesson for us. the charts showed at least 2 meters of depth but this was in fact not true. we did not have a good feeling coming into this harbor, so the lesson we learned is precisely to follow our instinct. we shall do that next time.
Ouch, scary stuff.. Just as well you know a good boat repair specialist :)
