Just-a-Swingin’

John Anderson’s tune “Swingin'” came to mind over the last few days. My goodness, not sure exactly how bad this cold front was for y’all as it moved through the states, but Lordy, its been a doozy down here. Three days of constant, I mean constant, wind over 15 mph, gusting to more than 30! We are safely anchored and “just-a-swingin'” with numerous other boats in Little Bay off Great Guana Cay. While most of us hunkered down to wait for the winds to pass, a couple of kiteboarders took advantage of the wind for a bit of sport.

Zipping along through the anchorage,

one of the men was at it for hours. Here he is passing just off our stern.

His sailboat was anchored near us, which allowed us to catch this great video:

You can’t hear it over the wind, but as he caught air, he’d joyfully shout, “WooHoo.” You couldn’t help but smile. He was having a blast!

And, randomly enough, yes, that’s a castle you may have spotted in the first image looking across the bay. I wonder if the lord and lady are about…?
