I'm behind on my blogging for a couple reasons.  I've started reading a great book and I've been enjoying chatting with our new crew member Dewey Dyer.  More about Dewey and his wife Mary later.  Yesterday afternoon, we arrived in Little Harbor at the south end of Long Island. We debated on whether to go a little further north to Clearance Town but since we will be going there today to spend the night at a marina we decided to "rough it" last night.  Little harbor is the prettiest anchorage I've seen yet.  It's very deserted and peaceful.  We have concluded that most of the anchoring in the southern part of the Bahamas and to the south east is in deep water.  From here on, it will be much more shallow.  Arrived in Little Harbor at about 2:30pm - plenty of time to snorkel and relax.

See the Charts tab for a discussion of the charts we are using for the trip.

  1. Glad to hear from Pintita Your silence was missed. My opinion is that you will be experiencing more fronts that may hold you up in anchorages that will be "less than comfortable" unless you choose to move on in those kind of winds & seas. Have fun

    It is very warm here in Sunny Cancun

    1. Right - in fact, today was the first day in 2 weeks with almost no trade winds. We know the weather will be changing in the next few days. We only plan to spend another week in the Bahamas - I just hope we can keep moving. It took us 3 days to get from Provo to where we are now and that was only 200 miles. How we are going to make 500 in the next 6 days should prove to be interesting - especially without 25 knot winds at are back.
