MERCY AFLOAT is a trawler blog about the explorations and adventures of the 37 Nordic Tug, MERCY as she seeks out the less travelled path in the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, and beyond. I enjoy God's mercies at every hand; and like good anchorages, diving, kayaking, and cruising with my Labrador retriever.

Monday at Black Point
Monday, May 27
The weather forecast looks pretty nasty this week, with 20-25kt winds expected all week, higher in thunderstorms, many of which are forecast. Black Point is a great place to weather out easterly component winds in good holding sand, and calm waters. With its available dock, store, restaurants, churches, fresh bread, and laundry...
Oh yeah, time to do laundry. I love being able to pull up to the Rockside Laundry's dinghy dock, and toss my dirty clothes without having to schlep them through town. This commercial laundry is clean and has free wifi. What more could a cruiser ask for? Tokens are $3.50 ea. for washer and drier. $7/load x 3 loads.
I gave 3 Canadians on a vessel anchored next to me a ride in/out, as their outboard was broken, and they bought me a loaf of Miss Corrine's wonderful coconut bread.
In the afternoon I caught 18 gal of rain water. Life is good!
