Spanish Wells (Day 7)

Photo: Now wer're reduced to taking pictures of rocks!!


While in Spanish Wells we met Bob and Jane aboard “Sweet Luxury”, a Cabo Rico sailboat. They are best friends with John’s cousin Jenny in Conn. Small world... Then “Cygnus” pulled into the marina. This is a Catalina 47 and they had been out on a mooring ball for the past 10 days waiting to cross to the Abacos. They are from Annapolis (Steve & Mary Jane Floyd) and are best friends with Joe Rocchio who was two slips from us at Bert Jabin’s Marina in Annapolis. They both have Catalina 47’s. This is getting freaky! There are at least 25 boats in Spanish Wells waiting to cross to the Abacos. When we are all ‘set free’, it will be like the Beltway!

Wellllllll, Tuesday morning and still the winds/seas are wrong for crossing. There was a lot of chatter this morning on the radio about weather and the general consensus (and that of our professional pilot) was to wait another day. Never did we think we would be here for a full week.
