The sail today was 20 miles of fun, we had enough wind to sail nicely but almost no waves…. it was typical Exumas sailing with the added bonus of competing with another Seawind. We traded information (and misinformation) regarding sail settings all day. Part of the fun was the friendly taunting on the radio during the 20 mile match race. It was great!
When we arrived I circled by pig beach, then parked in my favorite spot on Pirate Beach. I’ll back off a little tonight and set the hook in deeper water. Right now we can walk right off the boat and up to the beach. I love to beach the boat and swim / walk around and under it. The decision to sail to Big Major today was a good one. There is plenty to do, and several places to go out to eat. Staniel has fuel and water so we have all the services we need for the next few days.
Richard and Laurie on “Forever Young” went fishing today and came back with two nice Mahi, so they invited us and 14 more of their closest friends here in the anchorage to come eat dinner tonight at 6 on their 78 foot Hatteras yacht. I begged a spot for Mike and Laurie, so we are set for the evening.
Jono took Angie and Gary to the store in Staniel today in our dinghy, it’s about a mile and ours is faster. Jono brought home a backpack full of food, it was $60 bucks worth. 2 litre cokes were $5 so it didn’t take long to spend the three $20’s Jono took with him.
