Still Hanging Out in Treasure Cay

Please know--we are NOT complaining! We are still in Treasure Cay sheltering from the high winds. If you look at a Google satellite map of the Harbor at Treasure Cay, you can see what a wonderfully protected area this is. The 20-30 knot winds blow out on the Sea of Abaco, but we sleep soundly with little or no wave action here. We understand that severe cold weather is a big issue in the states so we are plenty happy to put on our long sleeve shirts to cope with the 60 & 70 degree cold front here.

These pictures were taken at the Tipsy Seagull here at the Marina near where we are anchored. The Tipsy is not open most of the day, but free Internet connections and electrical outlets are available if you care to hang out. As you can see, hanging out here is not exactly a hardship!

I'm concentrating on blogging and John's doing some Skype phone calling.



























Tomorrow (January 17th) we are planning to sail down to Marsh Harbor to get our propane refilled, buy an anchor for our dinghy and stuff like that. Eventually, we plan to sail to Little Harbor which is at the very south end of the Northern Bahamas or Near Bahamas or Abacos. From Little Harbor, we wait for good weather to sail over night to Nassau. This is different from the sailing we have been doing around in the Abaco Sea--this will be another jump out into the Ocean. We want to be sure that the wind and the waves are right for a good & safe sail. From Nassau, we head down the Exuma Islands.

We did see Carolina Men's Basketball game last night--the Tispy has TV with the ESPN Channel. Glad to see the boys in blue winning again.

Life is good. We are getting pretty lazy here in Treasure Cay and need to get back to sailing.
