Hello all,
Welcome to the Bahamas.
We arrived at the boat in Ft. Pierce, Florida on January 26,
2018 to wake up Galileo to get her ready for our crossing to the Abacos. As usual with boating one thing leads to
another, to another, etc. Well to make a
long story short we were finally ready to leave the dock on February 6th
in hopes of catching a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream on February 8th
which we did. Crossed over that day to
West End, Grand Bahama Island and then proceeded eastward the next day to Great
Sale Cay, and then here to Green Turtle Cay yesterday February 10th. Weather was okay for the trip. A little windy right on the nose so no
sailing. Seas were manageable. Galileo is a great seaworthy boat so we did
not feel any discomfort.
We will stay here at the Green Turtle Club Marina until
tomorrow then proceed around Whale Cay out into the Atlantic Ocean then back
into the Sea of Abaco onward to Great Guana Cay for a few days. Our near term goal is to attend the
Songwriters Festival in Hope Town later this coming week. It is a weeklong gathering of songwriters who
will perform at various restaurants February 13 – 18.
Then we will take a slip at the Boat Harbor Marina of the
Abaco Beach Resort that is home base for the Royal Marsh Harbor Yacht Club of
which we are members. They have a
variety of social activities planned for the month in which we like to
participate.
Here are some snapshots of our journey so far:
If you look real hard there is a turtle statue inside the triangle.
