Spanish Wells to Little Harbour, Abacos

06 July 2012 | Little Harbour, Abacos, Bahamas
Heather / sunny 88 F / E 7
Left SW Yacht Haven marina 8am saying farewell to Miz Angela, Treadwell, and the helpful Leroy (who found us one of the VERY few electrical tails they have to convert their 50Amp power to 30A for those of us with older boats). Long run north, and arrved Abacos Little Harbour 6 pm. Will be here 'til Monday (Hope Town is hosting a regatta and we don't want to have to struggle to get anchoring space or a mooring). More when I get better Internet.

Vessel Name: Parallax
Vessel Make/Model: 37' Prout Snowgoose (1982)
Hailing Port: Pensacola
Crew: Derek, Heather and Grant
About:
Two astronomers, looking for variable stars and adventure. After cruising the Caribbean aboard S/V Paradox for 18 months in the early 90s, the crew swallowed the anchor and had a child, always planning their next Great Adventure: cruising under sail with Grant, showing him the world. [...]
Extra:
We knew that if we ever got a catamaran, we'd want a name to celebrate her twin-hulledness. Parallax is seeing the same thing from two slightly different points of view, which with our two eyes is what gives humans our depth perception. It's also a good metaphor for one of the benefits of marriage. [...]
