Nice slow sail. Caught a yellowtail snapper and a plastic bag along the way.
Great sail to Monument Beach, got to sail the entire way!
Pretty spirited sail with some bigger gusts into the high 20s. Pretty fast sail for our boat with a top speed of 10.3! Made it down to Staniel Cqy where we’ll stay a few days
We got sick of waiting in Rock Sound, so we took the downwind sail over to Allan’s Cay. Made it to the Exumas in really good time
Just motoring. We’re going to check out queens bath and glass window bridge before continuing down Eleuthera
Big day of sailing all points of sail. Started with the leftover wind from yesterday pushing us downwind. Cold front from the north hit us at about noon and we had 15-20 knots on the beam to close haul the rest of the way. Wind died pretty much as we anchored
We were able to sail nearly the whole way, pinching into the wind a bit most of the way. Never got the wind shift we were expecting, but we got close enough then motored the last few miles. Morning started out a bit rough, but the waves died down throughout the day. We got skunked on fishing though..
Slow sailing down to Hoffmans Cay. Caught a couple of Jacks, kept one.
We decided to take the nice 15-20 knot winds up the chain of Berry islands. From Chub cay to Grand Harbour cay. We were able to sail all but the last 5 miles as we started beating into the waves and had to go dead into the wind for the last leg. Caught 3 fish! A king mackerel as we barely were out of the anchorage; a blue runner Jack; and a barracuda we released back.
Nice and easy trip across the bank, wind died in the afternoon and we had to give up on sailing. Pulled into Chub Cay at around 1am in the moonlight.
In all our excitement about having some kind of weather window, we may have jumped the gun by a few hours. We started by beating into 5ft seas and 20-25 knots. We left too early. The wind was supposed to die down by 7, but didn’t start falling off until 10. It was a rough couple of hours, but once we were in the Gulf Stream the waves became more manageable. We weren’t able to make a good angle to the wind until it shifted more South by midday and later fell off to about 10 knots on a broad reach. After all that, we made it! We’re officially in the turquoise waters of the Bahamas and ready for the next adventure.
Great sail 15-20 knots on the beam. Seas were pretty confused and the inlets were rough! It was pretty cool sailing by Miami on the way in
15 bridges in 29 miles 🙃. Would not recommend. We decided we’re going to cross from noname to Bimini, so we’ll continue South tomorrow. Also we passed 5k nm on our boat today!
