It's been a while since I last posted and a lot has happened. Last week Jim and Pam Wilson came to visit us in Hope Town. We had a great time in spite of the weather. Wednesday was the worst weather day we've had the entire time we've been on the boat, but Thursday the rain left, the sun came out and the wind died. We were finally able to get off the boat and see the town. We had a great time and I'm sure it was quite an experience for our friends to experience what it's like to live on a boat.
After saying goodbye to Jim and Pam on Friday morning we did some
errands and ended up back at Snappas, a bar in Marsh Harbour around
sundown. There we met Andrew and Sharon on Z-Raye. We had a couple of
drinks and had a really good time getting to know them.
Today we made our way from the Abacos (Little Harbour) to Spanish Wells on Eleuthera. We were part of a ten or twelve boat flotilla that left the Abacos. There were multiple "groups" in the flotilla, We stayed in touch with Ben on Loon, and Andrew and Sharon on Z-Raye as we made the 9 hour trip. We had manageable wind, though not from an advantageous direction, and six to eight foot swells behind us. The good news on the swells were that they were about eleven seconds apart so most of the time it was a gentle roll.
Loon and Good Morning Vietnam raised anchor at 6:30 this morning and were in the Atlantic by 7:00. Z-Raye left about 30 minutes behind us but being in a much faster boat passed us well before we made it to Eleuthera. Of the ten boats that were headed to Eleuthera, Good Morning Vietnam took the lead at 8:59. At 9:05 Z-Raye flew past us.
Tonight we're on an anchor just outside the inlet to Spanish Wells. Tomorrow we'll move to a marina inside the harbour for a day or two.
All is well but wifi has been hard to come by. Hopefully I can post more regularly again now
Take care.
