January 17

Yesterday we were going to go to the beach but as luck would have it, as soon as we started to make plans... the rains came. Rick worked on cleaning up the Navigation table so he can actually spread out his charts and work on them.I worked on cleaning up the dining room table and the galley and the head.

Last night we had Happy Hour on OtherGoose, and said goodbye to Diane and Andy. 

This morning we were away by 8:30 from Green Turtle Cay and we were in Marsh Harbour by 2:30 p.m.

HOLEEEECRAP! We changed the prop from 15/11 to 15/13. We managed to run 4-5 knots INTO the wind. Before we were lucky if we could do 2.5 into the wind !!!! This is going to be awesome!

We went into the town and met another boat Tatiana coming away from the dinghy dock. They weren't impressed with the town...first time in the islands. It's actually the third biggest town in the Bahamas. It's spread out more than Georgetown and has a lot more stores. Seems a little more sophisticated, and not quite as friendly.  There are still some small islands here that don't let black people stay on the island overnight!

We met up with MODAKI. Joe and Yvonne came back from Man-o-war Cay to see us. They were getting their sails fixed. We had a great talk!

Tomorrow e head out to the south end of Abacos to Cherokee Point. If we get there early enough we will keep going otherwise we will drop anchor there and head out over to Eleuthera on Thursday.

Man, I am beat...going to bed now.

Happy Hour last night
