Northers
This shows whale key in the distance. Low tide all day so we couldn't do Don't rock again. We came through whale passage on Friday - great day- snorkeling and lunch before getting into the harbor back at Treasure Cay. The ocean was smooth with gentle rollers spaced wide apart, and a deep blue color we don't see much of on the Sea of Abaco. Started breezing up on Sat as we sailed to the Jib room dock and by Game time Sun we were in a howling norther. The wind makes so much noise in all the rigging and the Sea of Abaco develops a chop with whitecaps that are steep and really close together . Nothing but windblown whitecaps and spray. Long pants, sweat shirts etc. Ok I know that you in the frozen north can't feel too bad for us. But these fronts sure make themselves felt. I was glad to sit tight and do chores. Hopefully by tomorrow we will head to the Southern part of the Abacos and Little Harbor. Winds and seas have been settling most of today so things should be vastly improved . The dock had cable so we got to see the game Sunday on a friend's boat!!
