Had a great long sail to West End. As we passed Church Cay, it was low tide, and we sailed past a VPS zone at 6 1/2 knots, scraping a hard bottom.
We tried anchoring south of West End, but someone on land waved us off, indicating that we could not anchor there. I decided to check in at Old Bahamas Bay Marina. We had supper at the restaurant at the Marina.
On Wednesday, we walked through West End, a bleak town with several conch shacks, bars and locals.
We stayed until Friday, when Norm departed at 5 AM. Later, Chris pulled me up the mast to investigate the failed anchor light and straighten the mast head windex, which was bent in the Dismal Swamp on a tree. We were not successful with the anchor light.
We check out of the Bahamas at Customs and the Marina on Friday.
