The route from Lynyard Cay to Marsh Harbor is zig zaggy which meant that with Easterly winds of 10-15 knots we got to try every conceivable point of sail, close haul, close reach, nice beam reaches and some glorious wing on wings. We were flying!
We are finally learning to sail this boat now and Maria the Mad Helmswoman drove like a Princess while we absolutely smoked some boats (nice compliment Jorgen, 4 brownie points for Christmas gift).
Got into Marsh Harbor and took a marina at a cheap rate of $0.65 per foot. Parked Big Q in the narrowest slip ever. I think the slip is 13’5”, our beam is 13’6” – they assigned the narrowest slip to the fattest boat – go figure. We are not sure how our wide arse will make it back out again, steak dinner tonight is not going to help!!
Marsh Harbour is fun we had reunited with many of our friends and even met the previous owner of our boat by total chance, what a small world we live in!
Everybody is here – Dana, My Whim, Calyx, Boomerang and Innisfree….
Big Q under sail.... we heard there were cold Kaliks in Marsh Harbour.....
Look Ma we found cold beers........
Life's not too bad....
I like Jorgen.....
