Day two

Day two of our journey with Captain Mark and the Stray Cat. We sailed all night from Cat Cay to Chub Cay via the Northwest Channel Light. Brad and Stewart had the fist watch, followed by Richard and Jerry then Capt. Mark and Ryan on the gentlemanly 6am shift. Conditions have been more favorable then anticipated, with the wind and waves giving us less problems than anticipated. We arrived at Chub Cay around 0730, and were greeted by shallow emerald water filled with large Starfish and Conch. After setting course for Nassau we gathered around the cockpit for some sailing instruction from the Captain.

We have just departed Nassau, enjoyed a nice meal prepared by Richard and are on our way to Norman's Key in the Exumas.

We should arrive around 11pmanother great day aboard Stray Cat.
