Our Crossing

We left Green Turtle Cay in the Abacos on Friday (3/19) and headed toward Great Sale Cay where we would spend the evening.  We encountered 20 knots of head winds directly and moderate 3-4 foot seas with an exhilarating salt water spray over the bow.  Our speed was only 5 knots for the majority of the day, picking up to 6 + knots for the last 2 hours.  The 60 mile trip took approximately 10 hours.  We enjoyed a quiet, peaceful night before we would be on the move again over the banks and into the gulf stream waters.
