Has been awhile since last post. Since then we left George Town and sailed up to Staniels Cay. Relaxed there for awhile and swam with some fishes in the Thunderball grotto. Then up to the Exuma national marine park we anchored off Bell Island and swam with more fishes at the "aquarium".

In the Exumas
Has been awhile since writing here. We came across from Nassau to Highbirne Cay on the last day of the strong E'lys. Made reasonable time beating into the wind all day with a full main and a bit of the jib. Managed to anchor St Highborne Cay at 18:30 just after sunset.
Berry Islands to New Providence Island.
We left Chub Cay at 07:45 on Tuesday to head across to west end of New Providence Island (Nassau). Forecasted Easterly 20 knots was actually about 25 knots so was a bouncy crossing but quick. Motor sailed with a double reefer main and averaged about 7 knots and arrived at West Bay at 13:00. Spent the rest of the day laying in the sun and a few drinks.
Wednesday morning we headed out on an attempt to get across to the exuma Cays. Headed across the banks south of Nassau but Se'ly 25 knot winds and boat stopping seas made us decide to go back to the warm sunny anchorage at West Bay to relax in the sun. So that's what we did. These easterly a are forecast to continue to the weekend so looks like West Bay IDs home for a few days. Could be worse.
May change our plans and head up to Eleuthra when the Winds moderate on the weekend.
