After 1000 miles of motoring we finally got in some sailing. The wind was behind us the whole way and we ambled along at an average of 4.4 knots, with a few bursts of speed up to 10 kts when the wind kicked up a bit. It felt nice to finally sail somewhere, we are really out of practice! Our cat Boris (who was seasick on the trip down from Grand Bahama) seems to have finally found his sealegs and managed a lengthy catnap while we were underway. We arrived at Hoffman's Cay which is about 20 miles south of where we were yesterday. There are four other boats in the anchorage and surprise, surprise there is another Manta. You'd think we would stop being surprised but seriously there are only 100 of these boats and we keep seeing them everywhere, from Rhode Island to the Bahamas. It's kind of the equivalent of owning a DeLorean and then seeing another one every time you park. Anyway we are planning to stay in this spot for the next few days, there's a couple fantastic beaches and maybe tomorrow we'll go ashore and explore.
Right now Kevin is firing up the grill for burgers and we've got Marley playing on the stereo, sounds like time for me to mix up some rum drinks.
