Sustained 20-22 knots of wind so we sailed on a beam reach with a reefed jib only! Fun little move to Harbour Island. Going to shore now to rent a golf cart for the day! Gusts up to 30 so will be nice to explore land before we go out to dinner to celebrate Jay and Gail’s 40th wedding anniversary!

We made it to Eleuthera! A very calm motor journey leaving Northern Exumas this morning and traveling almost 45 miles to get here. It started with a fun coral field where we were dodging them left and right, luckily we had good light and high tide. We saw container ships, we lost sight of land, and we caught two barracudas on the way! The ocean color remained bright blue with a sandy bottom the whole time. Came through the cut near current island which had a ripping current, then ended our journey with one more hour to Meeks Patch where we just anchored for the night. Excited to be at a new island and to see that the water is still clear and blue :)

Beautiful mid day stop at Hawksbill to walk the sand bars 😻 Soooo pretty all the white sand and bright blue water, very secluded glorious sand bar beach. Motored from there to Shrouds where we’ll anchor for the night by more sand bars and estuaries. Going to go dinghy up a mangrove stream now to the beach on the east side! A relaxing Sunday 🥰

Holy moly this quick little trip was just phenomenal 🤩 So many shades of blue with sand bars popping out everywhere. We came through this same narrow channel on our route south earlier this trip and we felt much less nervous this time through! Nice to feel our progress in maneuvering confidence 💪 The water was sooo pretty and beaches too bright so we had to anchor to explore more on foot. Worth the stop! Walked around a glorious sand bar beach area with so many colors. Photos of walk in next move today (to Shrouds).

Full moon party!!! Always so amazing when the sun sets and the full moon rises at the same time 😍
