Wandering about the Sea of Abaco

March 31st thru April 2nd-Spent the past 3 days in Black Sound on Green Turtle on Donnies mooring. We biked around the island, spent time at the great beaches and enjoyed having our friends from Stardust for happy hour.

Another beautiful sunset

 April 3rd- Lunch in New Plymouth with Stardust and Synergy then we headed south thru the Whale passage. This is the only spot where you have to go out to open ocean in the Abacoes. Gentle seas made for a great trip and caught a Spanish Mackerel for dinner. Anchor off beach at Bakers Bay on Great Guana Cay.

April 4th thru 7th- Sailed to the protected anchorage at Treasure Cay as stormy weather is predicted over the next few days. This is one of Chris' favorite anchorages as they have a great beach and for a small fee you can use the resorts pool, showers and wifi. Happy hour aboard Dual Dreams Thurs and party aboard Stardust with 10 other boaters on Sat. Spent 2 afternoons at the beach.

Easter, April 8 &9-Winds have setteled down and we sailed to Man-o-War. Anchored in  the northern cove where we are seperated from the wild ocean by a 50 ft wide strip of rock. Easter Dinner was a treat of Lobster tails and steak from the freezer. Wandered around town and walked beach.

April 10th- Sail to Hopetown where we anchored outside the harbor. Enjoyed a lunch put on as a fundraiser for the local Bahamian sailing team (Rage).

April 11th thru 14th- Spent morning at Tahiti Beach (another fantastic spot) then sailed to Marsh Harbor to wait out more stormy weather. We spend the next few days provisioning and doing laundry.

April 15th- Weather has cleared and we sailed back to Hopetown where we enjoyed cocktails with friends on Tropical Depression.

Anchored off Hopetown

 April 16- off to Tahiti beach where we waited for high tide to head south thru Lubbers Quarters and on to anchor off Lynard Cay. We have been watching for weather to head south to Eleuthra. This trip entails an open ocean passage of 55 miles crossing the Northeast Providence Channel. It looks like the seas will calm down by morning and we will have a favorable east wind for only one day before it switches south and builds.
