From Hopetown we sailed back to Marsh Harbor to re-stock the galley. After spending a night there, we headed north to Treasure Cay. Home of one of National Geographic's 10 best beaches in the world. It is a nice 3 mile crescent, but we've seen some equally nice one's on the Great Lakes.. .
In that Treasure island is a private, gated community with a man-made harbor, there is a $10 per day anchoring fee. But for the $10 you get full access to the resort. Nice!!
We went by this schooner on our way over to Marsh Harbor. A good day for sailing. Our sail to Treasure Cay was a quick one, making over 15 nautical miles in 1 hour 15 minutes with a top speed of 18 knots!! Zoom, zoom ....
This photo was taken as we were leaving Hopetown. This is Don and Lynn Walton's brand new Fusion 40. Absolutely beautiful boat that looks like it is setup to actually sail well. We were hoping to get a ride on Wednesday, but the race was called because of too much wind. Don was the only Captain that was game to go sailing. Racing down here is informal and obviously pretty laid back. You break the boat mon, if it blows more than 20...
