Well… we didn’t get as lucky with this one as our crossing but we made it! The first several hours out of bimini were GORGEOUS!! We originally planned to head towards andros and get in an anchorage for the weather. However, the weather changed slightly and we determined that wasn’t gonna have any protection so we searched and found whale cay which should have some protection from north winds…. Slightly naive? maybe. but we are researching, consulting, learning and trying our best. This weather coming in will be a good test.. good thing our drafts 18 inches 😅 We tucked away in between bird cay and whale cay just about as far as you can get before cat cay. Waves are significantly smaller than about 100 yards out in 10-15ft of water. We’re in about 5 up here. There was another catamaran when we arrived which gave us a good sign, although they promptly left so don’t know what that means LOL. We are confident and hopeful in this spot and will be on high alert through the night and day tomorrow. Windy app said 2ft waves while we were cruising yet they were consistently breaking on bow throughout the night, thankfully they got slightly better this morning. Anyways, another long cruise in the books and really loving adding the miles to our books ⛵️🫶🏻 Everyday we are learning more and more it’s so much fun!
