Finally we managed to uproot ourselves from Marsh Harbor. The wind is still blowing over 20 knots but yesterday afternoon we left the marina and anchored in the harbor. Sweet Tides decided to stay one more night in the marina charging their batteries. Only last night there was a power outage in town and they did not notice their charger had stopped charging. Today we were all set to leave at two from Marsh Harbor when they realized their batteries were down to sixty four percent. So they stayed an extra half hour charging their batteries and we left at two forty five. Just to we could add some excitement to the blog their stuffing box needed burping, big time burping because a lot of water was coming in, but after some TLC it stopped and we managed to make it to Man'o war, barely. The entrance was really, really narrow and shallow, but once inside it is very protected. We grabbed some mooring balls and went for a walk in town where we took the pictures in the slideshow. Then we we came back, got our dinner ready and had another gourmet feast aboard Sweet Tides.
Tomorrow we will spend the day walking around the island, it is really very pretty, and then we will sail to Tiloo Cut and Little Harbor to get ready to make the passage to Eleuthera on Thursday when the winds and waves will hopefully be much better.
