Sailing the Bank

3.10.13 We left Warderick Wells early this morning to head South along the Exuma bank. We realized this morning that the sail had torn below the first reef, so as long as we kept the first reef in, we could still use the mainsail. So, with the wind on our beam we made a speedy passage down to Black Point. It was an enjoyable day and we made great time. We were so relieved to be in Black Point that we opted to stay there for a few days and relax and enjoy the town. We unloaded the dinghy and enjoyed a day tooling around the town. We dinghied over to some nearby islands and enjoyed the pristine beaches all to ourselves. We planned to head South to Little Farmers one day, but the wind was on the nose and we were slamming in to waves. We opted to stay and enjoy one more day in Black Point and make a long day of it and go all the way to Georgetown the following day.
