Time to depart Ocean Reef and head to the Abacos. Beautiful turquoise waters and I saw one dolphin...first time out in the Abaco Sea....lots of spotted rays and a field full of large sea turtles!
We travelled south to north thru the Lucayan Channel which runs vertically thru Grand Bahama Island.
Shortly after we entered the Abaco Sea, we had the fluke discovery of our friends Robert and Cathy aboard their s/v BnG, heading to West End then Florida. Unfortunately, we were to be ships passing in the night as we were heading the opposite direction. But...we did get a pic as they sailed off into the sunset!

We made our way to Great Sale where we anchored overnite (lousy nite for sleeping....or not sleeping....we were tossed around a lot due to a change in the weather forecast) then we headed to Bluff House Marina, Green Turtle Cay, Abacos. We pulled in beside our friends from Indiantown, Pat and Tutti. Here we shall stay until the next weather window then we think it prudent to begin our trek back across the Gulf Stream to Indiantown and begin the process of putting the girl to bed. Pelican Rose that is, not moi!
