Marsh Harbour to Green Turtle Cay

We departed Marsh Harbour at 10 and anchored at Green Turtle Cay at 3PM.  Six hours on the Yanmar

Little Harbour to Marsh Harbour

Six hours motoring to Marsh Harbour.  Got diesel and gas at Harbour View Marina at Marsh Harbour.

We took a walk, wandering through the destruction caused by Dorian in 2019, which decimated Marsh Harbour.  We found an empty field, which was probably the remains of the Lofty Fig, but Enid never confirmed that it was where the Motel was.

We ended up doing groceries at Maxwell 

I was disappointed with what I saw at Marsh Harbour.  My expectations were much higher.

 

Gun to Little Harbour

We got up late and departed at 11, heading towards Marsh Harbour, ending up at Little Harbour—arriving in the dark.  The lateness was to be blamed on Mr Glenlivet from the night before.

We motor from 11 to 19:30.  

Spanish Well mooring

We stayed at Spanish Wells south for the day.

We agreed that Norm would stay aboard at West End, and it would work better to catch a flight from Freeport rather than Marsh Harbour.  

It would not have been awkward for Norm to leave Marsh Harbour and get Chris back to Orlando for his flight home.

Russel Island to Spanish Well morings

In the morning, we set sail to a mooring field in Spanish Wells and were well protected from the weather.

There was a ship in the channel that was blocking the channel.  After she departed, she headed to the bay, turned around, and we had to move closer to the shore to avoid her.  Meanwhile, the ferry cut in front of us in an un-seamanship manner.

We got a mooring ball.

Monday was rainy.  I showered in the rain.  It was good.

We spliced the 8-plait line to the anchor chain that was cut at Highbourne.  

On Tuesday, we walked through town and got some groceries when Chris arrived.  We were starting to head back to the center of Spanish Well when a golf cart offered us a lift,

Met with Chris, brought his luggage to the boat and went out for supper at Wreckers.

The next day I discovered that I left my credit card at the restaurant.  We picked up the credit card and did more groceries and wine.

Later, Marc-Andre introduced us to his neighbour Fulub, who was on another mooring ball!

To Russel Island

We sailed through the Current Cut towards Russell Island.  

We were concerned about the upcoming weather.  I checked with various marinas, but none had any availability.

Chris was coming to Spanish Cay tomorrow.
