"Salty Dog" Reaches Across the Sea of Abaco




Having traveled over 1100 miles from the Chesapeake to the Abacos, we were seldom able to sail. We almost always were under power (using the engine vs the sails) because the Inland Waterway is narrow or the wind was on the nose. We are now ecstatic that we are able to actually sail from one island to the next. The attached pictures are of “Salty Dog” reaching (the point of sail when the wind is on the beam) across the Sea of Abaco from Great Guana Cay to Treasure Cay, about 9 nautical miles, in a 15 to 20 knot breeze. We have also attached a few pictures of us on the beach at Treasure Cay. Thanks to Helen aboard “Wingspread” for the sailing pictures and Linda aboard “Sojourner” for the beach pictures.

What beautiful scenery. We are having such cold weather and it is so much fun to see the beautiful weather, the sails and the water you are enjoying. You two look great, and you actually look like you like each other!!
