I have had such an awesome day. It was such an incredible rush! I left Marsh Harbor about noon after raising my main sail with 2 reefs on the anchor. I raised the anchor and ran back to the helm. As I was leaving the anchorage two guys on their own boats gave me 2 thumbs up since they saw what I did by myself. I was so proud that I was able to do it.

When I got out of Marsh Harbor I hauled the jib, got on course and shut the engine down. The wind was just under 20 and the seas had calmed down a bit. What an incredible rush and excitement. I was sailing from 5-6.3 kts. on the blue waters of the Bahama's on a georgeous day in March. It doesn't get much better than that-only if I had someone to share it with. I did call some friends here in Guana to tell them-just wasn't the same.

I only had to pick up a few things on the floor that hadn't been battoned down-not bad!

I'll write more later after the pot luck-I'll take my ever popular cheese dip-so easy and always a hit.- Just needed to write this now!
