Chub Cay, Bahamas
25.24.550N
77.54.615 W


We were underway at 5 am this morning after experiencing a rather noisy and somewhat uncomfortable night.  With nothing to protect us, the winds and waves had their way with our little home so it was no problem rousting ourselves up and out.  Unfortunately, it also made for another nasty transit bashing into waves and winds.  We took to “tacking” in an effort to modify the pounding which did help to a degree.  Otherwise it was overcast all day with little to see or comment on. 


We arrived at Chub Cay by 1:30pm and anchored outside their marina where we are tucked behind the island which knocks down the nasty conditions.  Chub is a private island and we heard just how private when the rather large motor yacht anchored behind us asked to make reservations at the club restaurant.  Although they explained that due to issues with their bow thruster they were not able to negotiate the channel, they were turned down unless they were registered at the marina.  Well, alright then.  I guess we better not try either.

 Tomorrow, we’ll make our way to Nassau and if the weather stays the same, we’ll actually be able to motorsail if not completely sail as the wind will be on our beam.  We’re looking forward to putting up those white flappy things and actually start sailing!
