For the second time in the past week, we took the dinghy for a ride up a creek. This time it was the Hawks Nest Creek that Real Life was anchored in during our stay at Cat Island.

The creek changes direction twice a day because of the tides so we had to deploy two anchors so that one anchor was always upstream holding us in place no matter which direction the current was flowing. Unfortunately, the bottom at Hawks Nest Creek is rocks on top of a thin layer of sand on top of more rock. We got lucky in that our primary anchor got firmly wedged behind a good sized boulder and held us for the four nights we were there.
