We spent our time hiding from the winds and rains of the tail end of tropical storm Alex behind Big Major's Spot, near Staniel Cay in the Exumas. Staniel being famous for the James Bond thriller Thunderball. This is the view from the entrance to the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Rain dumping down outside, drink pouring inside.
The good old days
The Yacht Club is actually a pretty cool bar. Plus, for the Bahamas, you can get a reasonable priced meal. We didn'y get any decent weather on this trip to get a taste of the Bahamas snorkeling.
Next up is to make the 5 day passage to North Carolina. The winds are light and a bit fluky, mostly due to tropical storm Alex marching through the area. Plan A is to head Beaufort, North Carolina for our landfall. Plan B is to cut it a little shorter and head to Charleston, South Carolina. Hopefully we can get enough wind to make our original destination without having to motor too much.
