It was a great trip from Bimini to Gun cay and then across the Bahama Banks. Stopped half way across and dropped an anchor in 8 ft of water could not see land at all the sea's calm and a great sunset.
Reached Chub Cay around 3.30 and set anchor just outside the marina, There were 5 other boats anchor The winds were to be NE 10-12kn But no the night from hell after 30 years of sailing it was the worst night I have ever spent on a boat. the wind stayed to the SSE and the sea's running 2-3 ft SE on the beam all night. So after sailing all day I was up all night. there was not a thing that was not tied down that did not end up on the floor.
At first light I raised anchor still in 3ft waves and went into chub marina for a well deserved rest.
Man that must have been some night. It sounds like being in the carribeans,that's the sort of things that we ran across. What was the Marina cost? Sometimes its well worth the money.
