A Beautiful Sail/Petes Birthday

25 April 2016
Becky
Today is Pete's birthday!!!! After a breakfast of coconut bread toast with honey, We leave Little Harbour at 9:30 am. We raised the mainsail prior to leaving the Harbour.
As soon as we cleared the narrow channel into the Harbour, we raised the jib too.

The winds are out of the east, at about 10 knots. We cut the engines, and SeaQuell is once again a sailboat!!

It's a beautiful day. Mostly sunny and cool. We sail on the same course for a couple of hours, maintaining about 5-6 knots.

Around noon, we douse the jib and fly the spinnaker. Our top speed was 8.1 knots, and we averaged 6.5. What a great run!!!!!! Lunch underway is cheese, salami, summer sausage, and chips.

We arrive Great Guana Cay around 2:30 pm. We anchor in Fishers Bay, and Nemo rafts up alongside. After resting on the trampoline for a bit , we jump in the dinghy and head over to Nippers. The ocean view is spectacular today!! We enjoy a round of Goombay Smashes, and head over to Grabbers for round 2. We shared some cracked conch while watching the local children play.

Back aboard SeaQuell just as the sun sets. Mary has prepared a delicious shrimp curry for dinner. The wine flows freely.

After dinner, we discuss plans for tomorrow. Sadly, our vacation is almost over. Pete and Mary fly home tomorrow afternoon. Robert and I will start heading back to the states on SeaQuell as soon as weather permits. Don 's son Seth and grandson Zane are joining him on the 27th.

We'll head back to Marsh Harbour tomorrow morning to regroup.
