Short Cut

Hi All,
After changing our plans twice, we have cut one stop and one day out. Friday morning we left Palm Cay Marina with a bit of rough seas, but after the first hour or two were able to put up the sails and sail pretty much all the way to West Bay. As we were pulling up to drop anchor we recognized Windarra, Jim and Ronda, some friends we made around Georgetown. They were anchored there as well and came over to catch up and have a few drinks. It was good to see them and we had lots of laughs.

Last night we had decided to change our route home, but this morning, after we were on our way we changed our minds again and decided to do the same route with one less stop. So today, rather than sailing to Little Whale Cay and staying there overnight we made it all the way to Great Harbour Cay. There is a beautiful and long beach here. Coincidence that it was our third stop in the Bahamas and will now be the third to last stop in the Bahamas. We anchored about 4:30 and are looking at an early night. Tomorrow we have approximately 65 miles to go to Freeport/Lucaya so we're going to get up at 5:00 and be moving well before sunrise.

Monday will be a short day going from Lucaya to West End. Tuesday will be another long day crossing back over the Gulf Stream, with us starting hours before sunrise so we can make Fort Pierce with plenty of sunlight.

That's it for now. Take care.
Brian
