We raised anchor @ 0500 and had a glorious broad, progressing to close reach sail to Low Cay. It didn't matter that our autopilot is kaput-- when you have these good conditions. The seas were 4-5ft. with the occasional 8-10ft. roller. Our speed was 7-8knt under full sail, the occasional 9 surfing. We dropped anchor at Low Cay at 1:30pm behind a crashing reef in 15ft. of crystal clear water. Another beautiful spot; well known for good diving...they keep getting better. The island of Providencia looms 10mi. in the distance. We'll go 'check in' to our first Columbian country tomorrow. We had grilled mahi mahi aboard Willow, since they caught 2 on the way here; we didn't have a single strike. And they were behind us!? The other pic is of the entrance to Providencia; Santa Catalina Is. on the left. The anchorage is between the 2 islands; a footbridge connecting the two.
