Spanish Cay

The day started out hot, humid & cloudy with wind from the southwest. We were making a short trip to Spanish Cay. While we were running a cold front came through. The clouds got real dark, it got much cooler, it started raining & the wind switched out of the northwest. We ran downstairs to get out of the rain.

We pulled into Spanish Cay Marina. It's a big marina & resort, with an airstrip. It looks like at one time this was a really nice tropical resort, but not anymore. We were told that it was hit really hard by Hurricane Sandy & hasn't recovered. Most everything is closed & deserted. The restaurant isn't open, there's no more beach bar & the tennis courts are covered with sand. Parts of the airstrip are broken up or covered with sand. At least we can stay the night secure in the marina & continue our journey tomorrow if the weather cooperates.
