Happy Thanksgiving from the windy and rainy Bahamas

We woke up this morning with the smell of roasting turkey filling the cabin..then realized it was only a dream. Wish we could have stayed in that dream because it was a bummer to wake up with the wind blowing across the hatch and the sound of rain on the cabin top. Yesterday (November 25) we sailed south of Nassau with a course to Highborne Cay. Once again, we're sailing with about 25 knots (the wind does not stop!) forward of the beam with a triple reefed main and a double reefed staysail. We started our morning with a two hour motor out of Lyford Cay Marina and around the northern side of New Providence. The waves were freaking huge and we had to run both engines at 2200 RPM just to make 5 -6 knots directly into the wind. It was a little hairy with breaking waves as we came out of the 2000' water and into the 20' water just north of Paradise Island, but Boundless rocked it! Also, on the way out of the Lyford Cay channel, we had a wave break right over the bow...good thing we had the forward cockpit door closed! After a well deserved night sleep at Highborne Cay, we contined on early this morning. The wind was sustained at 30 with one gust over 45 during a squall. With a triple reefed staysail only, we could make 11-12 knots. Boundless is treating us great! We don't have a turkey but we do have chicken in the oven and soon the smells will fill the cabin. Missing all our family and friends on this Thanksgiving Day! We are thankful for all of you!
