Day 170, Monday December 9th

Day 170, Monday December 9th

Today is moving day.  We need to time our departure around high tide so we don’t ground in the channel.  We have a couple hours before departure so Dawson goes for a run, while Julie hits the market and a shop she had seen a book in that she wanted to buy.  We meet up for a coffee so we can get some internet to finalize Ross’s arrival to the Abacos in a week.  By coincidence we meet up with our friends at the coffee shop.  It is such a small world we are revolving in.  3 of the 4 boats are leaving today.  All of us are going to different spots, but will cross paths again over the next couple of weeks.  We could not decide initially where to go, but since the wind is from the south, we headed north.  Treasure Cay is one of the spots we had not gone to yet, so became our destination.  Our plans are pretty flexible and have to be due to weather and tides etc. 

The sail was beautiful.  Full sun, 24 degrees out, with about a 13 knot wind behind us.  We travelled at about 5 knots and made our destination in little over 3 hours.  The tide was going out and still had about 2 more feet to drop luckily as it is only about 6 foot clearance to get in the channel.
We spent a quiet evening at anchor.  We will explore the shore tomorrow.

Cheers

Julie and Dawson
