Wednesday thru Friday 4/17/09 We left Cambridge Cay on Wednesday staying longer than expected due to good times and weather. The wind was still blowing on our trip south to Sampson Cay with 3' to 4' waves on the bow. Not bad. Only rearranged a few things on the inside of the boat. We arrived at Sampson. Fueled and went to our dock. We were put right behind Island Time, a charter yacht based in Nassau. Turns out the captain & mate were from Barrington, Il. $36,000.00 will charter the boat for a week if interested. They have all the toys and work non stop to please their guests.
One of the neat things about the Bahamas (besides losing track of time) is the clear water. I've attached a few pictures. One of a starfish beside our boat in 4' of water, and one of the water at night illuminated by the lights from Island Time which shows the bottom at about 10'. We stayed 2 nights at Sampson Cay (http://www.sampsoncayclub.com/) and left on Friday to head to Black Point Settlement on Great Guana Cay. Upon arrival we dinghy'd into the town and headed to Lorraine's Cafe for lunch and to order bread for a Saturday pick up. The bread is made by her mother and is renowned among the cruising crowd we've encountered. Also at Lorraine's is an internet access point which are spotty at best out here. Temps are in the 80's during the day and cooler at night and always a breeze. I used to think Iowa was heaven but I'm changing my mind!
