While most all
of the PDQ flotilla now gathered in Nassau, was watching the windy forecast and
trying to decide what to do, our
original trio (Sno’ Dog, Improv and Moonstruck) decided it was time to depart
and head to Eleuthera / Royal Island for some exploration. Alaska Gypsea
decided to go on their own towards the Exumas, everyone else decided to stay
put and wait it out. After a quick walk to the bakery, and checking out
which included; reading the water and electrical meter, and a bag of ice, we
departed Nassau Harbour at 9:00 AM with winds out of the southeast our course
kept us close to shore to minimize the
bumps and lumps.

JP and David from Improv deployed the fishing lines in hopes
for a catch. JP got a bite, but it turned out to be weeds, David on the other
hand caught a tuna and two Spanish mackerels – will have to find out his
secret? The tuna was prepared ceviche style and enjoyed by all six of us on
Improv after dropping anchor in the very
protected anchorage of Royal Island.

Overall it
was a great day where we travelled at about 7 knots and covered 42.61 NM in
6.25 hours before the engines were turned off in Royal Island Harbour. It was time to check the anchor, swim and
relax.
