We left Bimini for the Bahama Banks, it was rough going but we made it all the way to Chub Cay. We DID NOT want to anchor on the Banks, way too rough. We anchored in the harbour of Chub Cay along with other boats. We ventured out the next day but turned back to Chub after an hour or so, the winds were so fierce and the waves were coming in all directions. We came back to anchor. The Chub Cay Marina is very expensive here with big yachts and many a fishing boat (the big kind, for sports fishermen). We have been here in Chub Cay ever since. We ventured out to the big water again today but turned back. Tomorrow is the big day as the waves will be less than half of today and winds will be okay. We are now sitting in the Chub Cay Marina. ... getting the internet, doing laundry, filling up with water etc. and nice and calm in here. When we get to the Exumas, it will be so nice and calm!
When we were anchored out in the inlet there were about 20 starfish surrounding our boat. It was awesome, we tested out the kayak too and sure enjoyed that. We had been working to get to the Bahamas that we needed the time to relax. The staterooms are all cleaned up and ready for Wed. when Ben and Sam arrive and then on Sat. their friends Tyler and Jalyn.

The I-Pod touch that James and Matt gave us is coming in handy as I listen to our local radio station and enjoy that. We have our Satellite phone working and have gotten texts from Matt. It is great to have that in an emergency.
