Captain’s Log – Tue 5/6/25
After waiting for a cruise ship to come in, Nassau Harbor Control cleared us for departure from Atlantis at 7:15am. We motor sailed the first hour then the breeze picked up enough to sail slowly the rest of the 35nm to Chub Cay. We sailed dead down wind for a couple hours before we could hold a broad reach which made the remainder of the passage slightly less rolly. Seas were about 3’ with an occasional bigger one. All in all, a pretty easy crossing of the tongue of the ocean.
We are actually anchored at Frazer’s Hog Cay. The main Chub Cay anchorage is expected to be rolly tonight as the wind picks up overnight. I found two last bone in pork chops in the freezer for jerk pork chops on the grill with roasted garlic red potatoes for dinner.
Tomorrow will be a long day. It’s supposed to be too rough to anchor halfway overnight on the Bahama Bank, so we’ll have to cover 75nm to get across to Riding Rock where hopefully we can anchor for the night and get some rest before crossing back to Florida on Thursday. We plan to depart at 6:am as soon as there is enough light to get out of the anchorage.
