Lucaya

We left West End at 9:30 this morning, bound for Lucaya. We had a beautiful sail down the western edge of Grand Bahama, reaching 8.3 knots under full sail on a beam reach. We rounded the corner, straight into the wind, and finished our trip with wind on the nose in 3-4 foot swell. John did a great job driving though, and no one suffered too much. We are staying at the Grand Bahama Yacht Club for the next 2 days. There is a beautiful pool area, and water shuttle to a marketplace, which we will do tomorrow. The kids were already befriended by 2 other kids, an 11 yr old girl and 13 yr old boy from Annapolis who have been sailing for 3 years.

Tyler has been obsessing about opening a coconut, and finally just did it. Pic below.
