Trip exported from GARMIN Dakota 20
J40 ~ Wednesday 27/01 - Long Island - Clemence Town - 0.7 nautical
Good weather, temperature 26 °, wind SE 12/14 knots, sea beautiful, the water is at 27 °!
The northeastern trade wind is back, the sun is flooding the lagoon but the lagoon water is slightly agitated. With 27 °, the bathing water is pure happiness but there is a strong current and it is advisable to pay attention not moving away from the boat.
J41 ~ Thursday 28/01 - Long Island - Clemence Town
Sky a little overcast but the sun will return quickly, temperature 26 °, wind S 9/10 kn, sea beautiful, the water is at 27 °.
I started the day with a swim, the last of my stay in the Bahamas, it was necessary to enjoy this water at 27 °, so clear. No snorkeling here because the current too strong, too bad because the boat is wet between coral potatoes.
At 10:15 we weighed anchor, crossed the lagoon and berthed in a pretty little marina run by Britons it seems. A sailboat was moored (but the prices here are just as prohibitive as in George Town!).
Shore ride, booking a car for tomorrow Friday, Catherine and Pierre will take her sister and me to the airport of Deadman's Cay which is not far away then they will go to make supplies in a small supermarket before leaving Long Island in a southerly direction.
Reading near the office of the marina mails despite the connection breaks, and then Michele and I do our luggage ... Finally shower; Oh! that she was good this shower with obviously fresh water after baths in the sea water.
In the late afternoon, it was the arrival of six big-game fishing boats, curious with their scaffolding to probably better see the fish in the distance. One of them has sinned more than one moon fish and an impressive 97 pound wahoo! The cutting of the nets on the table near the pontoons attracted about fifteen sharks (he feels a single drop of blood from far away) and some barracudas. We had to see them fighting for the waste ... The nice fisherman distributed some pieces and one of the two offered was finished on our table in the evening. Delicious !
And then in the evening all these gentlemen spent a good hour and a half washing their boats with fresh water including ceilings (!) And when we know how much is a commodity is rare in the islands, that's all just ashamed!
