Stayed at Harbor Island for 3 weeks. While there are convenience stores and fuel available, we needed to restock on provisions. So we sailed overnight to Nassau. Very peaceful downwind sail at 7 knots. Since we don't have a spinnaker or whisker pole, we have found it better to sail on a broad reach rather than running straight downwind. We always reef the sails as the sun goes down. It may be slower, but don't have to worry about getting overpowered during the night.
