Day 1054 was an early start. Shaina was up around 5:30 like us as she is off to board today. Sheldon and I left the house just after 6 to start our adventure to sail the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas. Our first night was spent at Orange Hill Resort, this is a hostel at best, not a 3 star worth over $200/night but drinks were cheap we soon found out.
The next day we bought groceries and prepared the boat staying at the marina the first night. Rough seas slowed allot of beverage consumption on the first day at seas finally docking at Allen Cay for the first night at sea.
The sea was very rough the next day so we only moved to the southern bay on Allens for the next night.
Finally we were able to make our way south getting to Normans Cay. Here we snorkeled the Carlos Lehder plane wreck, found our first beach bar with $15/ short rums and $25 burgers and wraps.
The next day it was time to head north again back to Nassau area anchoring just outside at Rose Island for last night at sea. The trip back was sunny and much calmer.
Back to the marina early in the morning spending our last night on the island at Melia Beach Resort. This was nice to get a chance to see hotels in the area and this was quite nice. Always enjoy a walk on the beach.
The next morning it was, A last walk on the beach and beer with the Cole's before off to the airport for the journey home. :-(
