Royal Harbour 25 30.95N 75 50.489W

We left Marsh Harbour and went down to Little Harbour. Dinner and drinks at Pete’s Pub after buying a beautiful small brass sculpture of a ray at the Gallery. Next morning we went out to sea and a 50 nautical miles Atlantic Ocean day trip to Eleuthera. Winds were from the SE about 10 as we headed S so it was motor sailing on both engines as we wanted to get in before dark. Pulled in and anchored. This harbour, despite being fully enclosed and well protected, was hit badly by a hurricane in 1998 and there are only ruins here. What do you expect when there is a surge during a hurricane (Floyd) with 200 MPH winds? Yet people are buying million dollar lots; go figure. Spent the next day puttering and moved to the above coordinates because a front is expected with N to NE winds of 20 to 25 tomorrow.
Larry and Joyce from a Gemini 105 arrived and came over for drinks then left: rice and beans and hot wings for dinner and Dog Whisperer while we charge batteries and run the fridge. We may sit it out or go to Spanish Wells (we need ice for our rum punches).

Now in Spanish Wells, about 6 miles east of Royal Harbour. Stay here until Monday and then off to ??
