Season Eight

JANUARY 2024…Marsh Harbor to Royal Island

Something we saw when walking around Marsh Harbor

The last front blew through, and we had 2 days to make tracks further south.

The Drippy Skippy

The first mostly calm day, was overcast with showers, but we moved down to the southern end of the island, opposite Lynyard Cay. This gave us a good jumping off point for the Spanish Wells area, and another protected anchorage at Royal Island.

The Anchorage at Royal Island was remote and pretty. Water temps were warm, and we spent the first day doing various boat jobs. The next day was a play day, and Todd rigged up the Windsurfer. It was great in the lighter breezes to tool around the anchorage and chat with some of the other boats.

This was before I accidentally T- boned the boat, no damage thankfully

It was a good 3 day stop, and the next hop would get us to the northern end of the Exumas.
