Beyond

Still Monday We left Nassau and headed towards Highborne Cay. Rock & Roll! The wind was still kickin from the SW sending spray over and into the flybridge. Normally where salt is concerned, Pam can't get enough of it. Not this time! Our course took us over an area caled the Yellow Banks which is an area of coral heads just waiting to dine on fiberglass. Navigating through these isnt a problem as long as the sun is out. They stick out like a baked ham at a jewish reception! The seas increased to 3' to 4' as we got closer to Highborne. Right before we got there a sportfisherman passed us. Cool! I can follow him in. Now normally going into a marina doesn't bother me but this one had some intricate directions. Aim for the yellow stake on the rock pile when almost there line up with the range markers beyond the stake taking care to hug the rock pile with the stake to avoid the rocks to the North. Once past the stake look to the left and find the range markers for the marina and head to them. All this while the seas are pushing Tourist every way but the way we want to go! A burst of speed and in we go. It didn't take long to realize we are one of the smallest boats here. Many are 70' to 100' with 28' tenders plus jet skis, etc. See where we are by going to Google maps and entering Highborne Cay, Bahamas.
