Cruise back toward the States

We left Treasure Cay and crossed the Whale bar at Don't Rock. It helped to have current waypoints for that shallow water crossing. We ended up in the lagoon off of White Sound, Green Turtle Cay. It then rained for almost two solid days... We then moved to Black Sound, Green Turtle for two more days to refuel, get water and a few groceries. Our plan was to go to Manjack Cay and hang out a while, fishing, snorkeling, etc.

While in Black Sound there was a new Moorings 4600 Cat that had attempted to go through the rage a few days before. It was a Captained charter but the Captain made a wrong decision. The boat hobby-horsed in the middle of the rage and a wave came crashing through the windshield in the main cabin. Charterers were then washed through the rear doors, some of the getting hurt when going through. The photos show the broken windshield in the main cabin and bent stanchions on the starboard side.

Don't mess with the rage...



A group of boats saw a good window for heading back to the states and we decided to join them (Easterly winds). We sailed a great spinnaker ride of 60 miles to Great Sale Cay, passing all but a couple power boats. The Prout 34 under spinnaker is owned a a nice couple from Canada named Rob and Bev.

This photo was taken by Rob and Bev as we passed them (a slower moment that day....)
We flew passed this brand new Maine Cat 30 is sailed by a couple from the northern eastern seaboard of the States.

From Great Sale Cay we motorsailed the next day to West End.
