Hurrah, we made it through the Whale today. We were the fourth boat to leave the harbour this morning, Eliz. Rose and Scaramouche were just ahead of us. The conditions were bumpy but favorable as wave heights were under six feet and no breakers. Eliz. Rose had a problem as their anchor was jarred loose and a couple of hundred feet of line went overboard. We tried to contact them on the VHF but they were too busy on the foredeck to respond. Their buddy boat hove-to to lend assistance so we continued on. Their destination was different from ours so we don´t know the final outcome. We found a nice place to anchor in Marsh Harbour and then took Alex and Rebecca ashore as they planned to spend the last two days of their holiday at a resort. They ended up booking a room for two nights at the Conch Inn. We enjoyed food and drinks at the Curly Tail bar which overlooks the harbour.
