Wednesday 24 March –Royal Island – Lynyard Cay, Abacos 55 Miles.

Woke up 5:12 am and got up to brew some coffee and get the ship Q ready for the passage. Anchor up at 06:45 and headed out thru the cut and around Egg Island through the Northeast Providence Channel and out into the Atlantic, across to the Abacos.

It was uneventful passage with beautiful conditions and nice winds 30 º off our nose. We did close to 7 knots all the way across with a lift from the Ocean current. Querencia was the first boat leading the pack into the cut at Little Harbor and we were full of beans.

We headed up the west side of Lynyard Cay and dropped the hook in a sandy spot.

Cocktails on Querencia turned into to a major celebration! We made it to the Abacos lads. another whopper milestone. Although the passage is only 55 NM, you are about 200 miles away from the US Coast Guard should something got wrong…

Leaving Royal Island at first light...
