not a bad place to weather a storm







rum cay!!!! after several days of sailing without the autopilot, which broke soon after we left miami, we decided to stop on this little island with only 80 people living there. what a place. during our stay we had a storm with 40 knots of wind and broke our anchor roller while lifting the anchor from the hook. the waves were almost breaking on us and we decided to seek shelter at the marina. once safely in the cove, we installed the wind vane (to use as wind auto pilot and be able to stop steering all the time!!!!). but not all was work. we also relaxed a few days while cruising the island with the folding bikes!! and enjoying the beach and amazing little place!
