Not happy, all motoring and no sailing due to wind direction before New Year's Eve.
No one on the water today with little contact or sighting whatsoever. Jim commented, it felt like we fell off the face of the earth. It seemed really desolate especially hearing and feeling those same stark words.
Saw a complete rainbow amid squalls near Spanish Cay.You don't see many of those. I felt lucky to be on the water after all.
Experienced what appears as some engine trouble with the motor intermittently bogging and losing some rpm. Oh well, going on the list of things to address. This list constantly changes. It is in need of attention and then execution to keep the sailboat shipshape. Arrived in Green Turtle Cay and found some deeper anchorage off of the Bluff House just as the last time.
Began New Year's Day with a big breakfast after finally feeling a little grounded. Experienced a long night filled with fireworks, crowing roosters, and a pumping baseline coming from a party in Plymouth.
Sometime in the evening, a 62' Gunboat catamaran slipped in beside us. It looked amazing with a price tag to back it up.
We witnessed a great deal of traffic in and out of GTC on New Year's Day. Unfortunately, we were sequestered under the yellow quarantine flag to the boat until check in at Customs.
Spent the day reading and watching the traffic. Got in the water and managed some time scrubbing the boat's waterline for exercise. Found out how poorly I am in the water nowadays. Gives me a target to work for considering we're running in Nassau on the 15th in their road race.
