Winds require a move to another anchorage - April 3rd

Although Tom and I weren't done exploring at Lynyard Cay, the winds and possible thunderstorms forced us to move from Lynyard to Buckeroon Bay, a more protected area. We had a mini parade that included Salty Dog, Tan Dam and us.  It wasn't far but because you have to maneuver around several shallows it took about an hour to reach our destination.  Once anchored  we all met on shore for a happy hour. It was a small beach that was covered in sea grass.  The winds did arrive overnight making sleeping a bit bouncy. The winds remained brisk throughout the day. This made climbing in and out of the dinghy a bit of a challenge and a wet ride to shore. Tom and I spent the morning exploring the shoreline to the point. A conch hunter had left quite a few empty shells on a rock ledge so I thankfully choose one to add to my collection.  About 4:00 the winds died down. Tan Dam decided to head over to Tahiti beach. Tom and I stayed another night then headed back to Lynyard to finish exploring the island.
