Bahamas Great harbour cay

By

We left no name harbour after waiting about 3 days for the wind direction to shift more southerly to enable us to sail there. It never did fully rotate enough but we decided to mostly motor there on Monday. During this 24 hour passage, the motor quit at about 12:30 midnight due to fuel issues during 12-2 shift watch. We replace an engine fuel filter that allowed the engine to run at 1/2 speed for the next 12 hours to arrive at great harbour cay ij the Bahamas.

We arrived and was able to hike the island and snorkel in a bay on the east side of the island.

As we tried to depart the next morning, the boat transmission failed and backed into another pier and damaged the dingy motor.

The crew decided to leave as the repair could take a while.

The marina folks stopped and grabbed me as well as other cruisers to see the setting sun at the top of the hill after I crawled into the back of the truck with several others dashing off to see the sunset
