Arrival in Spanish Cay, Bahamas




Today we arrived in Spanish Cay in the Abacos. You can check out aerial shots of many of the Abaco islands, just scroll down till you see Spanish Cay.

We left Great Sail Cay this morning around 7:30am, following the 14 boats that were anchored in the harbor (we were second to last - guess we were sleeping in!). The seas were very calm and the only excitement was a discrepancy between my electronic chart and the Abaco cruising charts. The cruising charts had a waypoint that appeared 3/4 mi from a big rock, on my chart that waypoint was .1 mi from the rock and in 3ft of water!! We rerouted and continued on. Attached are a few pictures of our travels that day.

We arrived around 2:30pm and cleared customs with a very pleasant customs officer - she was very busy since the good weather this past weekend lead to many boats crossing.

Spanish Cay Marnia is a typical Bahamian marina/resort. Simple docks, small pool, bar and restaurant, and water views everywhere!

The adventures of Dorthy continue and can be found on Ginny's Picassa page.

The evening ended with David chatting up the locals at the bar and Ginny and Roger relaxing on the boat.
