March 28th...Little San Salvador to Rock Sound, Eluthera

We left Half Moon Bay at about 7:30 and motor sailed most of the day . The first 10 miles were not protected from the Ocean and there were some good sized swells but otherwise the trip was no eventful. We did not catch any fish although Steve caught another Barracuda.

The weather is going to prohibit traveling next week so we came here mostly for protection. There are well stocked stores and internet access ... although at $12 an hour we won't be spending too much time there. The cold fronts that bring us bad weather are supposed to slack off in March but so far that has not been the case.

One of the largest Cruise Ships in the world passed us yesterday... it looked like sideways building floating on the water. It crossed the path our friends Barry and Susan on "Night Hawk" and we got a couple of neat photos.

We arrived in port at around 1:30 and took a dinghy ride / walk to the store which the nicest that we've seen in a while. The produce was picked over but the shelves were well stocked and there seemed to be enough business to insure stock rotation. There is a hardware and NAPA in the same area so we'll go back tomorrow to search for fishing lures and transmission fluid.

There were squalls today and a water spout formed out in the bay, not far from our boat. It was pretty cool! We saw several rainbows also.

We grilled some burgers and listened to updates of basketball games on Fox sports. We gave up on the Spartans at halftime down 30. But all in all, a Sweet 16 appearance was more than we anticipated this season.
