Can't Get Bob to Shore!!!

My plan was to watch the Chicago/Packers playoff game from a bar right on the water here in Georgetown, Grand Cayman. However, last night strong winds from the North moved in and we are now hanging on our mooring only 20 or 30 yards from breaking waves and the beach!!!
Brother Bob was to have left today, but when we got in the dinghy and drove towards shore we could not find a single dock that didn't have waves breaking over or almost over it. Tried one spot and were almost flipped by an extra large set of waves.
Decided to try to dinghy Bob around to the South side of the island. Only 5 miles away, but the large swells and breaking waves on the sandbars and barrier reef turned us back after about 4 miles. We started listing the number of reasons why this was a stupid thing to have tried and thinking through the list of things that could go wrong on the slow trip back upwind to the boat. It wasn't pretty.
So, now Bob is still with us and hour after his plane was to have left, and there is no way in to shore to watch the game. Guess I'll just have to be entertained by the waves breaking so near Morpheus, and be thankful for a good mooring.
Good to have Bob for another day...
