Long Island, Cat Island, Eluthera and on to Abaco

From Dollar Harbour we move on to Thompson Bay, Long Island, meet up with Escapade. We leave Dream Weaver and Escapade and head to Hog Cay before a pleasant crossing to Cat Island. We connect with Betty and Jill on LiLi. Mom flies into New Bight, she w…

Spring Point in a Clocking Wind

The wind is clocking, 160 @ 16-G22+kts. Supposed to go SSE-S-W tonight, no protection from the west. Hopefully the shallow bank means all we get is a chop. We move to Spring Point, it took a while for the Delta to grab, then it held in 20kts and 800 RP…
