We Made It To The Bahamas!

Wow! What a crossing...We left at 8pm Monday nite with Blue Blaze and 3 other sailboats. At first we were motoring a little close to each other but we spread out for comfort...For some of the sailboats it was their first crossing. Unfortunately about an hour into the crossing, Blue Blaze had alternator trouble and smoke coming out from melted wires....They turned back and we asked if they were sure they could return safely...They indeed said they could...We continued on and the weather was right on our bow...18-22 knots of wind and about 6 foot seas...not the crossing we had intended but the moon came and lit up the sky....I saw a shooting star..pretty cool. We arrived 13 hours later, 3 sailboats later...the sun came out and all is good! We cleaned the boat and started to relax...sit at the pool...Pretty swanky place (my description not theirs)...see OLd Bahama Bay REsort and Marina website. Quite an indulgence...During the afternoon, 2 guys in a small boat came to greet us, selling conch and lobster..the lobster in the Bahamas has no claws but a huge tail. We bought 2 for $5 each...proceeded to boil them and eat them just as fast as we could. I cut up the conch and made conch salad...Yum! Blue Blaze has fixed their problems and will tentatively arrive Thursday morning at about 4am...Yeah! See pics of the conch on Kino's boat...
