We left Green Turtle Cay around 2:30 p.m. to go thru the Whale. This passage can be challenging, but the journey to and after proved to be rough. The Whale was the easy transit. Wind and waves crashed into us, giving us a salt bath. I gave up on my glasses as I could see better without them. We made it to Fishers Bay, Great Guana, in 3 hours. Set the anchor and waited for the wind to die down. Right. Rock and roll doesn't begin to describe that night. The wind shifted more out of the South and neither one of us got a good night's sleep.
Next morning we headed out around 11:30 to go to Hopetown. Carolina Moon wanted to get there around high tide due to their draft. We got roughed up again til we got into the lee of Elbow Cay. Entering we saw nothing shallower than 6 1/2 ft.
We entered the mooring field and picked up one from Truman and Lucky Strike. Finally we were able to relax and unwind.
We sat down to a crock pot meal of spaghetti with chicken, and then proceeded to sleep for 12 hours!
Next post will cover the Hopetown experience!
