Johnson Cay was far too rolly and so we departed without exploring it. 20-24 knot winds on the beam. Down wind 1st and we jived a couple times which was violent. We got out of the rolling rough waves 3-4 ft once we turned north with wind on the beam. Waves were 1 ft and comfortable. Top speed 10 knots with a reef in the main.

14 knots wind and fairly flat as motored to next anchorage in short time.

15 knots true wind and about 11 knots apparent. 1 ft waves on a tacking sail. No others around into quiet little anchorage.

9-18 knot true winds. Up to 24 knots apparent wind close hauled. Waves 3-6 ft. We motored for 1st half of day on the way to Anguilla Cay at 9 knots upwind. Wind began to pick up and decided to bypass the cay which changed our heading enough to sail. Arrived in the ragged islands at 4:30 am in pitch dark with one other boat anchored.

There was a small craft advisory with winds from NE albeit we were somewhat protected by the keys from that direction. We motor sailed with 1 reef and 75% jib. Chasing Summer, another 40 ft Lagoon also motor sailed in the same path. They hailed us to say hi. We met Stan and Tracy on their Manta 40 and went to dinner after mooring.
