We had 2 lovely days anchored at Little Bay (Great Guana Cay). It was calm and fairly empty. Jane and I spent a bit of time hunting for sea glass on a beach that faces the Exuma Sound. For some reason, this beach gets a lot of sea glass – you can pick it up off the beach or grab the pieces as they get tossed around by the waves. It was lots of fun and the water was super warm.
We’ve moved south today (about 25nm) from Great Guana to Lee Stocking Island. We had a good sail with all 3 sails deployed. The first part of the trip was done on the banks side (west side of the islands). This side was much smoother so we were able to sail along at about 6.5 knots. We crossed over to the Exuma sound side (east side of the islands) and encountered larger waves and a slightly changed wind direction which made it more challenging to sail. In the end, we motor sailed the last 2 – 3 nm and then used one of the cuts to cross back onto the west side of the islands. We’re anchored at Williams Bay, Lee Stocking Island with lots of other boats. Our plan is to stay here for a few days and then jump down to George Town.
Here are some photos that didn’t make it into the last post.
