First night anchored in Boat Harbour was a little chilly but we had the place to ourselves.
The new Yankee looks and performs just great...Celebrian will be so fast now?!
The day before we left Green Turtle Cay there was a rage at the Whale Cay passage and not a day to sail there. Yesterday was as rough as we have seen it but we had no problems going through the passage. Most of the time in the Abacos you are sailing in protective waters; however you have to go out in the ocean to get from Green Turtle and Scotland Cay to Guana Cay. Nothing like going out in the ocean in good sized waves for our first day but at least now we have our sea legs. The new Yankee performed beautifully and Celebrian is very proud.
We had a bit of a scare with the hot water tank because the element sprang a leak and partially filled our bilge with very expensive water. At first we were worried that the hot water tank had failed where it had been fixed or right next to it; however we were grateful to see that it was something the captain could fix. Today we are in Marsh Harbour picking up a few things to keep us going until after Christmas. The stores don't open up again until Tuesday so we hope to do our major provisioning then. Until then we will hang out at Boat Harbour and perhaps Man O War for Christmas depending on what the wind is doing.
Today I am sitting in the Bahama Wimax office using their wifi signal because I can't pick it up on the boat since we are in Boat Harbour and not inside in Marsh Harbour where the signal is directed. At least I can do a blog entry and then it may be next week before you hear from me again.
