2012-04-17; 22:30 — Marsh Harbour/Boat Harbour, Boat Harbour Marina slip #422 What a great day! We had a wonderful time all day, although it got a little bit tiresome at the very end of the day. But I should start at the beginning. We actually got up fairly early and threw off the docking lines just after [...] 2012-04-16; 22:00 — Green Turtle Cay, White Sound, Green Turtle Club Marina slip #14 We’d kind of planned to stay here only one night. We’re beginning to feel the pressure of time as the days drift past and the date of Frank’s flight back north (and that of my flight to Phoenix) race toward us. It’s [...] 2012-04-15; 20:00 — Green Turtle Cay, White Sound, Green Turtle Club Marina slip #14 Another very easy and pretty short day. We weighed anchor just before 11:00 after having our breakfast and doing a few boat chores. The wind was still from the east today (as it really should be most of the time), so we [...] 2012-04-14; 17:00 — Tucked behind Crab Cay We had a serious scare around 06:00 this morning! Barbara and/or Frank awakened with a start as they realized that there was an alarm going off. I raced to the nav station to look at the chartplotter and saw that it was, indeed, our anchor drift alarm that was [...] 2012-04-14, 01:00 — Hawksbill Cays Shortly after I wrote the preceding blog entry that documented our grounding off Foxtown, near the Hawksbill Cays in the Bahamas, I realized that we were starting to hear the occasional “bump…bump” beneath the keel. It took me several minutes to realize the implication — the tide was coming in, raising [...] 2012-04-13, around midnight — Just west of the Hawksbill Cays, Bahamas CRAP! Here’s what my logbook entry shows for today: And, as the line from the Rocky Horror Picture Show goes, “that ain’t no jive”. So far, this has been a really, really, REALLY, bad day. Actually, in fairness, the really bad part didn’t get started until late [...] 2012-04-12, 20:00 — Great Sale Cay, Northwest Harbour We made the decision — almost by default — this morning to not go anywhere at all, but to take a kind of rest day right here in this peaceful anchorage. I said “almost by default” in part because Barbara and Frank let me sleep in. In fact, [...] 2012-04-11, 19:30 — Great Sale Cay, Northwest Harbour anchorage Yesterday, we were up bright and early. Well, early. Well, we got up, anyway. The first thing we had to do was return the rental Fiat to Enterprise. Frank and I drove over there around 08:00, turned the car in, and walked the 10 or 12 blocks [...] 2012-04-09, 22:00 — Miami, Miamarina, slip #C-1 Time slips away, doesn’t it? I meant to blog on Saturday night, then again on Sunday night, but failed miserably. At least it’s only Monday night, right? Lemme see if I can recall what we did over the last three days. Saturday morning, we got up early and Frank drove us [...] |
