N21.3 W71.3 Cockburn Harbour, South Caicos
We stayed in Big Sand Cay until the morning of June 2, when the winds picked up and the swell became highly uncomfortable. We decided to move on to South Caicos, across the Turks Passage.
We dropped anchor in Cockburn Harbour in less than 1 metre of water under the keel, at low tide. Slightly anxious about this depth, we waited to see incoming tides deepen the distance from the bottom before heading into town. While still slightly rolly, we have some protection from the intense southeast swells in the Turks Passage. Dave will sleep much better tonight.
