5:45am- The alarm went off for us to get ready for our 6:15am departure across the ocean. Love getting up that early to say good morning to the sunshine.
No need for a motor since there is enough wind to sail at least 6 knots. Of course, Steve is dragging a fishing line hoping for a big one.
10:30am- Chuck chuck .....that is right. For the first time on the GaYa, I got sick. Usually I get nauseous but haven't actually chucked. At least it was one time and then I was fine. The seas were wild.
2:09pm. Arrived in the Abaco's. We covered 58 miles from anchor up to anchor down in 7 hrs and 45 minutes in average speed of 7 knots. The wind was 17 to 25 knots beam reach. One reef in the main and one in the jib. Waves were 6 to 10 ft Highest speed was 9.2. The GaYa sure gave us a ride.
We are now anchored in Linear Cay. Fuel used "0"
Steve is having his well deserve beer and a lie down. It was a big workout for him. He doesn't have to workout today.
