Georgetown to Staniel Cay

The time has finally come to depart Georgetown Bahamas to head to Nassau to meet friends and family for x-mass and New Years. The morning of our departure I checked the main engine coolant, which seemed to be overly filled and brackish colored. Hadn’t flushed the cooling system in forever, so it was time to flush and refill. That brought us back into town for a trip to get the coolant, where we had to hitchhike in the back of a picktruck to get to the store. Back to the boat, I finished the job, and then Casey and Stephanie sailed by on their way down island. We set sailed by mid afternoon, and overnighted at Black Cay. Had a fabulous dinner of steaks and potatoe pancakes, ymmmmmm. Then sailed the next day to Staniel Cay. Went to the SC marina last nite, and the dingy area was filled with friendly sharks and sting rays. Bad weather has been expected, so we are now holed up in the Thunderball Cove on a very secure mooring ball to wait out the weather. It is starting to blow pretty hard, but still very sunny skies. Very Happy to be here!! In the process this morning of baking some French bread. My rye bread attempt came out like a brick! Oh well…
