November 29th, 2009 Black Point to Staniel Cay, Exumas
After coffee and breakfast we hauled up the anchor and headed out the south entrance to Black Point. Once we made the corner we rolled out the jib and put engine in neutral to charge the battery system and make some water.
"Fine Lion" exited from the north entrance and hoisted both of his sails. Since the race was on we rolled out the staysail and were flying along at about 3.5 knots.
We had a great , slow sail up to Staniel. "Sapphire" did lose the race but in all fairness we did slow down intentionally to keep air bubbles out of the watermaker.
Once at anchor we had some lunch and then took the dinghy to shore to pick palm fronds. Steve and Kim joined us and we dinghied out to Sandy Cay for the afternoon and then returned to middle beach (next to Pig Beach) for a send off bottle of wine. Kim flies out tomorrow for 3 weeks back in the States.
On the way back to the boat we remembered that we had forgotten to give Kim a check for some things that she is picking up for us so we invited ourselves over to "Fine Lion" for three games of Rummy Cube before dinner.
Finally back on board, I made some goulash for dinner...and lunch tomorrow, before watching some video and going to bed.
