From Providence to Great Harbor Cay

Our stay in West Bay was a bumpy one. There was little protection from the waves so sleep again was fitful. We did have a curious light show from shore, though very little of the music was carried to us as the wind was from the south. I have looked at all the information about this end of Providence Island, and I have no idea which resort this is or what was going on. 

Friday morning, Valentines day we was a great sailing day. We did motor sail a little when the wind became "light and variable  for about an hour nevertheless we were full tilt in less an an hour. We decided to skip Chub Cay and go on through the Providence Channel up and over to Great Harbor Cay. By 8 pm both of us were wind tired and a little chilly. We dropped anchor about 3 miles from the harbor entrance, ate some hot chicken soup and tossed on the waves again. Sun rise was hot orange against dark clouds but the trip into the marina was fast and we were greeted by Jon and Arline, John and Nancy in short order. The marina is filled with fishing boats as a tournament is on for the weekend. 

It is Saturday morning - and the predicted rain has arrived. The salt is getting washed off of Cool Hand.  With the current weather forecast we will be here until Monday or Tuesday for the next window to skip over to Bimini.

in our travels. Most going towards Nassau
