Didn't know if I could do the blog tonight - no internet at the boat. but tah dah....here at the restaurant/bar, we are connected!
What a day......we left the West End at 8:00 this morning with strong winds, but if we had waited, they were going to increase as the days went on and it would be Thursday till calmer conditions, so....this place is nice, but 4 days??? We were ready to move on, so.....with 20 mph winds, we left and had 110 miles to the Abacos, our destination (Green Turtle Cay). First half was easy with following seas, but then beam seas (hitting us from the side) – not my thing. The first mate was able to read (good book “Moloka'i”) and take a few cat naps, but part of the time....rough going (certainly been in worse.) The skies looked really threatening for awhile, but just a quick shower...
The Barbara Lynn needed fuel, so we all stopped at Spanish Cay and called it a day around 3:00. We are rockin' and rollin' here in our slips, but winds are supposed to die down overnight and we have 14 miles to the Abacos (our ULTIMATE DESTINATION)!!! Green Turtle Cay......here we come!!!
We had a great dinner here at Spanish Cay......we are talking SMALL and QUAINT and good visiting with the locals. The grouper was exceptional and then topped off with warm bread pudding with rum sauce....deeelish! Roger bought a loaf of Bahamian bread which he shared with us, so....some yummy toast coming tomorrow! Nite nite! We'll be heading back to Catrina soon and
rock 'n roll some more
