We spent Sunday riding the bikes again, checking out the north end of the island. At lunch time we headed back to the boat for lunch and then took the dinghy out of the harbor and watched the sailing club race their Sunfish sailboats. It was a great time, we anchored near one of the marks and watched the boats sail around it in rather choppy seas with plenty of wind. Afterwards we loaned the bikes to a couple of other sailors and relaxed. Sunday night was "date night" with a nice dinner at one of the resorts featuring prime rib.
Today, Monday, we were up early getting the boat ready to head out. We motored upwind to Marsh Harbor, meeting our friends on Temptation and Victoria Gay on their way to Hopetown. We anchored and got ready to bring the generator to the shop. Before loading it up in the dinghy I decided to try it one more time. It started and continued to run. We pulled anchor and headed out to Man O War Cay. This time the wind was favorable and we had a nice sail. There is no room to anchor in the harbor with all of the mooring balls so we chose to anchor out about mid-island. The dinghy was launched and we headed off to a couple of the beaches we hadn't been to during our earlier stay. Not a productive shell day but Cori did get some seaglass.. A quick trip into town to see if anyone was selling any conch (none) and then back to the boat to relax and watch the sunset.
We plan on staying here for another day then back to Marsh Harbor to pick up a couple of things and then off somewhere again.
Tonight we sit in your old slip at Matthews Point. Chilly but not the usual January evening. We're the only ones here but all is well! Enjoy you're new adventure!!
