New Friends !!  106Ft M/Y "Gallilee"

 

 

     Just before leaving Sunrise Resort, this M/Y came in.  We made friends with the crew, got some great cruising advice and we all enjoyed the Bahamian "Junkanew" festival in Freeport on Jan 2.  We left for the Berry islands on Jan 3, spend around five nights at anchor.  Three at Great Harbour and two night at a remote anchorage near Flo's Conch bar off Lizard Cay.  (I am having some trouble installing pictures on the blog but am working to correct the problem.)



As the weather began to deteriorate (winds and waves) we decided to slog it out and proceeded SE to Nassau in 5-7 foot waves.  Fortunately, we only had about 30 miles to get through it all and, once again, the boat performed great -- the ride was just no fun at all.  But, we arrived in Nassau, made arrangements to stay at the Nassau Harbour Club Marina and settled in for what we thought was going to be just a short stay.  Unfortunately, our anchor windless decided to do a bit of "ark and spark" so we are here for a short time longer as I had to ship the motor back to Florida for repairs.  We expect the moter back tis week and our plans are to spend a couple of days at the Atlantis Marina before heading South to the Exumas around 20 January.
