Marsh Harbour Via Dink Take 1

As might be deduced from the title, we did not make it to Marsh Harbour today. We attempted to go across the sea of abaco from Sea Spray. When we made it into the surge that was coming from the South Man O War inlet, we turned back. While we could have made it, coming back we would have slammed all the way and the bones just weren't up for it.
Updated the GPS data with the plot and you can see how we turned around and then headed for Tiloo Cut. Once down there we decided we really did not want to head to the inside of the cut behind Tiloo Cay since the surge was rather pronounced for a dink. A center console would have been fine but a dink passage was not going to be dry or comfortable otherwise. The inlet was breaking all the way across and the surge was coming all the way in.
So it's back to the beach looking for bugs again.

Sounds like you need another boat. Something bigger than a dink but smaller than your yacht. How about some of those big jetskis?
