Saturday March 20th




We left the dock by the Sugar Loaves around 7:15 and happened to pass a barge with the ¨grounded yacht¨ we had seen hoisted up its foredeck. At 8:30 we passed Guana Cay and Capt´n Chas decided we would try to go around the ¨Whale¨ today as the weather forecast for the next few days did not look favourable for that passagee. There were large rollers and the wind was right on our nose but all in all it was not a bad trip . We anchored safely in White Sound in Green Turtle Cay by noon. I say safely, that is until a hummungous oil tanker entered the harbour´s narrow entrance and passed very close to us. They yelled at us to move as we were in their channel- who knew- I didn´t know a ship that big would even fit into that harbour. Anyway we decided to change positions- who wants to argue with something that size!!
