Abacos here we come!!


I thought I had managed to post on the blog with the blackberry but obviously I did not. We left West End without problems and travelled the whole day all the way to Great Sale Cay. It was windy and rolly but we did ok.  
Eight boats left West End in the morning and they were all at the anchorage in the evening. Very protected in spite of the wind. We anchored and as we waited for Sweet Tides, Juan decided it would be safer if we did not raft up because the wind was blowing almost 20 knots. But when Sweet Tides tried to anchor their windlass did not work. So they did raft up with us and we had a very calm night because the wind died down. And since it was Juan's birthday we were able to celebrate. 
Today we left at eight and arrived in Manjack Cay which is next door to Green Turtle Cay. A beautiful anchorage with crystal clear waters. It's been a month and a day since we left Herrington Harbor and today we can say we have arrived. It' s not beach weather yet, the northerlies were strong so temperatures are only on the 70s, but will be increasing towards the weekend. The signal is not good enough to send pictures but as soon as we get some decent wifi we'll post some.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes for Juan, we wish you had been here with us!
(I can post with my blackberry, as long as I write the email address correctly, duhhh!)
