East Lagoon

I am back to the BBYC after a couple days in the east lagoon area. It was very interesting on that side. You have to sail in very shallow water which was pretty cool. I cruised for miles in water only 10 feet deep. The anchorages were only 8' deep. That is quite a change from the 90' I've had to do. The water was very clear and at night the moon made it look like a giant swimming pool. I explored by kayak along the beaches and little inlets. The weather stayed perfect for me. Now I am getting ready for my long sail back to Hawaii. As I complete my final preparations I will look for a good weather forecast to depart on. As the highs pass by to the south it reinforces the trade winds, a bit stronger than I want. So I wait for that high to pass for the winds to back off to a more comfortable 10-15 knots and 6' seas. The boat is in good shape for the passage. I will need fuel, water and fresh provisions. Then I will be ready.
