Headed out for Crab Cay / Manjack Cay

On thursday, we finally made it out from Whithe Sound towards the anchorage between Crab Cay (another Crab Cay, than we already have visited) and Maniack Cay. It was a short ride only. The anchorage is very large and a number of boats were in there already. Not a problem and we could drop our hook in a well protected spot.

After having a small snack for lunch, we got the dinghy ready to go ashore. Bob landed me his bucket with a lens at the bottom. So I could inspect the anchor - all good. Well set in a sandy spot with some gras. The water depth is only 3 to 4 meters. So the 80 feet of chain, we let out should provide a good holding.

We were headed for the beach and noticed, that there must be native animals on the ground... We knew, that there are pigs at Staniel Cay in the Exumas and there should be pigs at No Name Cay in the Abaco as well. But we did not know, that there are hogs at Crab Cay too!

These pigs are very curious!

Well guys, up for a ride?!

The encounter with the animals was just fascinating, and the beach is amazing! We had a quiet night at anchor and will head towards No Name Cay. We will probably spend the night in White Sound again and heading trough the Whale Cay passage tomorrow.
