We left just before 9am, our friends doing the “wave” from their porch as a send-off.
They did a great job and I took a lousy picture. [What happened – when I picked up my camera, I overturned my cup of tea – took a minute to wipe the tea off the charts.]
Good-bye Elbow Cay lighthouse.
A lovely sail up to Guana Cay on the beautiful Sea of Abaco.
To one of Troy’s (Dive Guana) moorings in Fishers Bay.
And we even enjoyed an afternoon show: a charter catamaran tried to take a mooring, but lost its boat hook in the process. Oh, nooooo. So they launched their dinghy to retrieve it.
Success! Even though the boat hook was badly bent. Now the hand-off of the mooring pennant to the folks on the boat.
Yeah!
But then – oops, their boat continued to drift towards the Sea of Abaco. The mooring apparently gave way and it took them a while to notice. Finally, they undid themselves from the useless mooring and motored away. Sometimes you get to see the show and sometimes you are the show. I hope we’re not the show tomorrow.
The mooring was a bit rolly, but I managed to bake some bread.
Yummy. And then Mexican for dinner. Time for bed.
Tomorrow – the Whale.
Safe travels! How long will I take to get back?
We plan to arrive at Green Turtle tomorrow, where we’ll spend some time putting the boat away for the summer. We fly back next week.
