Overnight trip started out with light winds and being pushed North by the Gulf Stream. Shortly before dawn the wind picked up to 15-19 knots and 4’ swells. For a short while we were going North in the stream and showed 10+ knots SOG! Ended up heave-to waiting an hour for the Sun to come up before entering the port. Met big ship as we entered! Lake Silvia was full so we went to the city mooring field.

Overnight trip started calm light winds and finished the next day with good wind!

Flat water and 8 knots of wind

Rain 🌧️ moved in just as we were departing and made the winds light and variable. 0-11 knot winds As we left the cut swells were 5’ on the beam so we did some zigzags to get angle to the swells. New anchorage turned out to be VERY rolley.

Flat and light winds. Used dinghy to scan depths and found West side way to better area. Then moved Mo Bettah. No rolling!!!

Started: 1’ seas/ 8-10 knot winds Became: 3-5’ seas/ 15-18 knot winds Running down wind all day Came down n to anchor and all 3 boats there were on the move! 2 Catamarans had just met up and were moving. Monohull was changing position. Got the hook to catch on the 3rd try. It’s a rolly anchorage‼️ But we plan to move tomorrow🤷🏻‍♂️

8-16 knot winds 1-2’ seas Got 4 knots of current at the narrow point. Anchored to the North in preparation for the next day trip to Berry Islands.

8-16 knot winds 1-2’ seas Beam Reach or Running 5.5 knots to 8 knots! Great sailing all the way! Tried stopping at Rainbow Cay for a short snorkel but couldn’t get the anchor to set so after 3 tries we moved on to Mutton Fish Point. We did go past Hatchet Harbour entrance, very narrow with steep rocks on each side!

12-21 knot winds 1-2’ seas Started downwind with just the main and when we turned North, had to stay close hauled all the way. Fantastic day of sailing! Topped off with spotting a dolphin while taking sunset photos! Took 3 tries to get the hook set. 150’ of chain set out! Set for 20-30 knots winds for the next 2 days.
