Tonight (Saturday Night) we will probably anchor at about 10PM in the open water. Tomorrow is supposed to be a mirror image of today so we should sleep comfotably. The GPS shows a 2:30AM arrival at the NW channel light (the other side of the banks) From there it’s another 15 miles to Chubbs marina, or about 45 to Nassau. As long as we are somewhere to hide from a Monday night blow, life is good. I expect that to be Nassau.
When you leave Bimini you enter the Bahama Banks. This is a large expanse of water that ranges from 10 to 20 feet but most of it is around 12 feet. Rusty and I put the cooler on the front and just sat there watching the bottom. This was another 10%er. Great sail. Life is good!!
Man you really do forget what this water is like…. imagine swimming pool water at it’s best and you’ll be close. It’s times like this were I wish I could teleport all my friends onboard to see this water. The stern wakes make a refelction on the bottom that looks like a line of light going out from each stern at 30 degrees. I can see the reflection of my wakes on the bottom 40 yards away from the boat (that’s a reflection on the bottom) how cool is that? Like I said OMG.
Sea Yawl Later!!
