Today was a beautiful short trip from Morgan’s Bluff at the north end of Andros to Lighthouse Yacht Club and Marina. Small resort; bought fresh vegetables raised on the island; went to the Androsia factory which is where they make the only and original Bahamian batik. Of course, we bought stuff! Andros is the only island with fresh water……..wells supply some of Nassau’s water supply. A water tanker makes daily runs from Andros to Nassau and supplies them with 1,000,000 gals. per day.
Yesterday was another story! 6-8 foot seas; wind out of SW at 15-20! In my opinion the roughest ride yet! Added a few bruises to my collection. After about 7 hours of that, we found a sheltered harbor at Morgan’s Bluff; calm protected anchorage. We were the only power boat with all the sailboats. We appeared to look like perfect mariners as we anchored, launched the dink and Capt. John and Neil took Frank ashore. I made drinks! He has really turned into a great boat dog. He misses Kathleen but decided in the rough seas yesterday that I was his “New Best Friend.”
More lobsters on the grill tonight and will try to set the course for Staniel Cay tomorrow……….a pretty long haul.
Wow - reminds me of other bruises we had. Please do take care.
