It’s strange once you enter the Bahamas, all the wind patterns change. We are used to the easterly trade winds, which are pretty constant. Suddenly we are now faced with winds coming from all directions and changing daily so planning where we are going to anchor for protection is key.<\/p>\n

Needless to say we have been sailing\u00a0and finding some great anchorages that have been protected and nice & secluded. There’s no one down in the Southern Islands but I think thats going to change quickly. The sunsets here are amazing so far.

We tried to check in at Abrahams Bay on Mayaguana but they had no forms. The Commission told us to just go on and check in when we could. Got to love these islands. ‘Yule’ a 7th generation local walked with us telling us tales of Mayaguana and his family. He gave us coconuts from the trees that his granddaddy had planted.<\/p>\n

Castle Island at the bottom of Acklins Island was a treat with excellent snorkeling,a lighthouse to make our way to and leave our mark like so many other cruisers and a beach fire with marshmallows. The boys enjoyed a kayak every morning for exercise.

Jen cooked up some amazing meals thanks to the boys catching a nice big lobster and Jen & Richard sharing the two black fin tuna they caught with us. Can’t say we are going without, that’s for sure.
