| SUNSET OVER GUN CAY |
After a long
sleepless night rolling in the Atlantic swells of the open anchorage which was
recommended in The Gentleman’s Guide to Passages South, we were again underway
at 7AM.

| THROUGH THE CUT INTO THE GREAT BAHAMAS BANK |
We passed through the cut
between Gun Cay & North Cat Cay into the waters of the Great Bahamas Bank. Immediately the water turned a beautiful aqua
blue. Most of the day the water was so
clear you could count the star fish lying on the sandy bottom as we passed by
in 10 to 15ft of water.
The morning
winds were light, but by noon turned to the north at 15 to 20 knots and under
full sail we made 6 to 7
1/2 knots towards our destination of Chub Cay. It was a beautiful day which almost made up for the long grueling day that we spent, crossing the Gulf Stream.

As the sun
went down we were running hard toward our anchorage off Chub Cay. The stars
came out as we dropped the anchor, it
was about 7:30PM.
