We left Puerto Bahia, DR at around 5 pm on Tuesday the 10th and we sailed straight through to the Bahamas. We got to West Plana Cay at around 6 pm Friday so it was a long 3 days. The dogs were very glad to see land. The sail wasn't bad and we had ok wind most of the way. We hit a couple rough spots but for the most part it was pretty calm with the wind coming from the east so it basically pushed us along and we could sail without engines averaging around 5 knots. Hopefully that is our last multi-overnighter. We'll probably work our way to Georgetown over the next couple of days, which is on Great Exuma. There really isn't much on the Acklins, Crooked and Long islands other than some beautiful anchorages. These islands are known as the Bahama Islands south of the Tropic of Cancer.
Wes caught a pretty big Mahi Mahi on the way over. Probably about 40 lbs. It took him a good 30 minutes to reel in and he was pretty exhausted after. So now our freezer is stocked with some real good fish.
It's nice to be back in the Bahamas with gorgeous beaches. The dogs are glad to be back crab hunting. Lexie caught four crabs today so she's getting to be quite the hunter. She even shared one with Max. Maybe cause she felt sorry for him because he hasn't caught any.
