We left Spanish Wells on November 28 to go to the Glass Window Bridge. We had to go through the 'Current Cut' which worried us a bit. All the reviews we read were a bit mixed. So we left with a tide down and a wind on the nose. The current can be 8 to 10 knots in this passage if it is not taken at the right time. It went very good into the passage but after, since we had the wind on the nose, we had good waves on all sides.
The 'Glass window bridge' is a window between the Atlantic Ocean and the Exuma Sound. There are still rocks on the Exuma Sound side, and the great waves of the Atlantic that strike these rocks rise up and cross towards the Exuma Sound, these waves can reach up to 120 feet high in storms. This bridge has move several times in these storms due to the impact. It's impressive to see all the power of the water. Small dinghy stroll to the beach then we walked by climbing the corals to the bridge impressive!!!!!!
The next day with the beautiful wind, always between 15 and 25 Kn, not always in the right direction, we did sail but we did not advance much, it's okay we're not in a hurry. We ended up in a small bay (Hatchet Bay Harbor) very close to where we were and very well protected from the winds. There was not much to see but we met people from a other sailboat anchor nearby they came to see us. We invite them for a sun downer.
The next day, the same scenario, nice wind we advanced well. We stopped in a bay where there were private resorts. The beach were beautiful. We had dad to lift anchor because it was not hanging well and we snag an electric cable around our anchor ...... what fear I had. We managed to remove it without any damage. The second try was very good. Thanks my God!
Well, we have to do the washing so we are looking for a nearby marina. We had good wind so we went to 'Davis Harbor Marina' Very small and no grocery store nearby. When we arrived at the dock we had forgotten to put away the fishing rod, we hurried to bring it back and Christian, saw and I saw 3 nurse sharks around the docks we did not go for a swim.
We still fish every day and yesterday we had a fish at the end of the line but on returning it un hock itself, we do not even have time to see it. One day we'll have one....
The washing is done and the boat is clean, it makes a huge difference. There is always a layer of salt all over the sailboat and even on the floors inside. It is very humid around 90% and sticky.
Tomorrow we have to find a grocery store because we need to replenish.
