Bahamas, Green Turtle Cay

 

We left Titusville Marina on January 6th….beautiful cruising day, lots of dolphins 🐬 

We anchored out by Pelican Island for the night…

Docked into Fort Pierce Marina for two nights waiting for high winds to pass before moving on.  A nerve racking 15 minutes of “seek immediate shelter tornado warnings in the area” alarms on our phones…scary, but it passed us without incident.

Onto West Palm Beach…. Beautiful area, impressive homes….Stupid money 🤑.  We are anchored for the night and set for a 5am departure for our crossing to the Bahamas, West End on Grand Bahamas Island.

We arrived by noon….no pictures of our crossing as I spent most of it drugged and below decks feeling green 🤢.  It wasn’t a bad crossing, just a little rolly.  Many boats pulled in after us that day as it was the only weather window permitting the crossing in a while.

We spent 4 nights here, pinned down by high winds and rough seas.  It is a very nice area, so we make the best of it.

Calm weather on Monday the 15th allowed us to leave.  We took advantage of the good conditions and did a 9 hour run to anchor behind Fox Town, on Little Abacos Island.  We were able to sit back, relax and play Scrabble as there is so little boat traffic….where is everyone?

Beautiful, quiet night on the water…waking to church bells from the town playing a melody 🎶 at 6 am.

Arrived and docked at Bluff House Marina and Resort on Green Turtle Cay by noon.  It is beautiful….and facilities are new, rebuilt after hurricane Dorian devastated the Abacos islands in 2019.

Our track, sketchy as it is, from Titusville to our current location…. This tracking system really struggles once you leave US waters.  We will be here for a month of relaxing 😎 and fun in the sun.
