Cape Eleuthra

Pictures worth a thousand words!

Kinvara was up early today after a calm night's sleep and underway by 7:15AM. We had our course charted and needed to pass through Davis channel which has a few shallow bars so we wanted to catch the mid tide time. The entire trip was 25NM but we had an east wind and the current with us so we could travel at 7k SOG most of the way. We arrived at Cape Eleuthra Marina by 10:30AM under sunny skies and calm winds. This is a very pretty place on the tip of Cape Eleuthra with ocean surrounding us on 3 sides. There was laundry done (again), a quick walking tour, Liz went to a hydroponics research institute down the road to get some fresh organic greens, and Peter and Jane had the best hamburger loaded with everything. We haven't had one since last summer so it was a real treat! The rest of the day was spent on the private beach then gin & tonics while watching the sunset. Tomorrow we hopefully travel southwest for 30NM to the Exuma Land & Sea Park and hold up while another front passes through Sat-Sun.
