It's always so difficult to peel yourself away from the turquoise waters and dreamy anchorages of The Bahamas, but when this weather window lined up we had to take it! 3 days from Powell Cay to Wrightsville Beach - whew, what a run 🤘🏼 Starting the journey inside the Banks was dreamy. Smooth sailing into the night as we settled into a rhythm of 4 hour watches. By 5 am the next morning we had passed the comfort provided by the reef and found some big swell just as the wind started to putter out. We turned into a motorboat to make the ride more comfortable, forever grateful for that option!!! The winds were light and flukey, so we unfurled and furled the sail a hundred times but seas were calm and the miles came easy! We didn't take many photos, but will forever have memories of a rocket launch (and land!) dolphins playing around the boat, the most vivid rainbow there ever was, more flying fish than you could count and another 544 nautical miles under our belt!
