N22.5 W74.2 Landrail Point, Crooked Island, Bahamas
Several days ago, we began receiving weather reports of tropical waves (precursors to tropical depressions, which can become tropical storms, which can become hurricanes) south of us, and big stalled fronts north of us. Our planning has been driven primarily by these reports. But, the reports were wrong today. No wind. 20 knots predicted, but no wind! So we motor-sailed to Crooked Island. The island is populated with Seventh Day Adventists, so no liquor or tobacco is sold. Too bad, because we still cannot leave the boat because we are in quarantine, having not yet cleared customs.
