Heading back North in The Exumas Ep. 50

This morning Randall had a fun idea to use the main halyard as a rope swing while anchored at Great Guana Cay in The Bahamas. It took a couple of tries to get the feel for it and it didn't quite work out like he was hoping it would, but it sure was fun!!
After one last jump in the "pool" we pulled the anchor and headed back North toward Cambridge Cay, where we knew there would be good protection as the wind picked up and changed direction later on.
The sailing today was great. There wasn't a whole lot of wind and we ended up motor sailing for a little while, but the water was extremely calm and relaxing. Randall of course was needing some adventure in his day, so he decided to tie a rope off the back of the boat so he could get into the water. He had a great time diving off the side of the boat and then grabbing onto the rope as the boat sailed past. haha
Later on in the day Randall exclaimed that he was feeling like a creature of 1975 and that he needed to cut his hair. I guess now is as good of a time as any. He has been cutting his own hair for several years now, but never while motor sailing. Considering being in the wind, the rocking motion of the boat and trying to do it one handed while holding a handheld mirror, I think he did a pretty good job!
We arrived at Cambridge Cay and were able to drop anchor in just about the exact same spot as the last time we were here. This anchorage has protection on all sides and will be a great spot for us to stay as we wait out the upcoming high winds that are expected to change directions in the next couple of days. We are also looking forward to going back to the Rocky Dundas Caves and exploring them more!

Years ago we watched a video where people were using the main halyard as a swing while they were motoring. Once the person holding the rope jumped off the boat the person steering would make a sharp turn, causing the person holding onto the rope to get some major air before letting go and falling into the water. It looked like a blast! We of course weren't going to do anything that extreme, being alone out there haha, but we still had fun for what it was.
