Marsh Harbour Marina

Steak night at the Jib Room--limbo and music was on the side

Marsh Harbour Marina

Our friend and neighbor, Greg, from Mumford Cove came into Marsh Harbour today on Lucky Dancer.  We had a storm while we were having dinner, very unusual to have so much rain this time of the year!

Just proving that Ed came with me!

Clouds are coming in low

Looking out towards Mermaid Reef, hope to go snorkeling there.

The famous Jib Room at our marina

It was a cloudy day and threating but never rained

Waiting to clear customs and immigration.  Linda couldn't leave the boat until we checked in--oops the marina forgot to call the authorities to come to the marina so Linda had to remain onboard until they finally arrived!

Looking around the marina

In our berth at Marsh Harbour Marina--the winds had picked up and it was not an easy job getting docked but the capitan did a great job once again!

Fishers Bay Anchorage, in front of Dive Guana.

It was a nice day, we really pushed to get by "The Whale" so that we would be within striking distance of Marsh Harbour.  Whale Channel can be impassable at times and we did not want to be stuck on the wrong side waiting for the seas to subside so we could pass

We were treated to a wonderful sunset as we were coming into our anchorage in Great Sale Cay

Mangrove Cay, we decided to go on to Great Sale Cay.  You can see what a funky day it was--you cannot tell the horizon from the water.  It all blended and at times we thought we were in fog BUT we could see.

Just crossing in the Gulf Stream, never know who you will meet. We had to divert cross to let her pass - rule of tonnage!

Our buddy boat, just before we both got boarded by the Coast Guard doing a "safety inspection".  Whatever made them think it was safety--we were held up over an hour, we were the last of three boats to be checked!  We got a clean bill of health.

As you can see, it was a calm, windless day

After waiting for two weeks, we finally have a weather window and we followed our buddy boat, Detour, out of the anchorage in towards Lake Work Inlet.

We are hoping our wait is over and tomorrow we can get across the Gulf Steam!

Anchorage North Lake Worth, Palm Gardens, FL

Cloverleaf invited us to their boat for coctails a couple of times while we waited for a weather window to go to the Abaco.  Cloverleaf is a beautiful 61ft, Krogen designed boat.  We met some interesting people on board not to mention the owners, around 80 years of age and talking about their next boat!
