Peaceful night amongst the big gals, in settled water, but we were too lazy to take down the dinghy and explore. Instead, Susie did a thorough house cleaning – including polishing some interior stainless (she sure does enjoy shiny) – and Todd discovered a leaky raw water pump while doing an oil change on the generator. Whew, we had a spare. But it doesn’t sound lazy, right? Should’ve taken the dink down. 😉
The anchorage? All day, the big boats moved out and new ones moved in. Including the Royal Bahamas Defence Force! Apparently, the entrance requirements were reduced slightly, because we had (clockwise from the top left): No Comment -154 feet, Never Enough – 140 feet, Home – 163 feet, and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force P303 (100 feet or so? Who cares? They’re the good guys!)
After spending the night safely protected by the military of the Bahamas, we left our peaceful anchorage among the big boats to set ourselves up for the weekend, when the wind is predicted to clock around and be more of a challenge from the north.
So, after weeks of travel, we find ourselves tucked back in Little Bay near the castle. Serious déjà vu. This time, however, there are only five other boats here and no kite boarders. We should actually be able to leave the boat and check out the pretty beach. Although…, Todd’s already mentioned an oil change on the main engine and Susie’s talking about defrosting the fridge…
