Lexington - Captain Bob: 10/2/2017 12 *. 13' south. 96*. 16' east



We are at sea again. This time for a 2,300 mile leg. We are expecting brisk winds and significant swells. So far today it has been nice with wind 14-18 and 4-6 foot seas.
My summary of Cocos Keeling is as follows:
1. It is absolutely beautiful water and beach.
2. It was windy and choppy in the anchorage which made any venture off the boat wet to a degree.
3. There was nothing at the anchorage except a beautiful beach.
4. The snorkeling was marginal.
5 There was not much in the nearest town except a grocery, hardware store, small boat museum and an old house.
6. The nearest town was a long wet dinghy rode (about 2 miles)
This all sounds very negative and is not meant to be. It is just a rest stop to break the trip up. We have a great birthday celebration. We have a nice dinner with prize giving. The weather was comfortable. After a rest I was ready to head out. In about 6 days I will be wishing I was back in Cocos Keeling.
May fair winds fill your sails with fresh breeze all the way to Mauritius
