We had lots of options leaving green turtle today. Strong winds ranging 15-20; gusting 24knots SE. One option was to sail over night, past great sale; aiming for crossing the gulf mid morning. As we approached Great Sale, our game plan was to throw the dinghy on deck at sunset. But with dwindling light and stronger winds picking up, it would have been a nightmare messing with the dinghy. We decided to anchor inside great sale. Tacked inside and dropped the hook around 8:15. Overall, eventful day today. Stronger winds forced us to get our reef points dialed in as we weren’t doing it correctly before. One sail changed ripped skin off my finger pretty aggressively🤣 Felt like our Bimini experience all over again. Hopefully anchor is set in clean sand!
