Easting on the Bahama Banks

Captains Notes:


This morning I'm a few miles east of Cat Cay in the Bimini island chain making for Staniel Cay in the Exuma chain. The wind is northeast at 10, the sea is two feet and building. I'm motor sailing on the Jib at 8 kts. I'm monitoring the low located south of Bermuda and north of the Bahamas. It could develop and change course for the middle to north US coast.

Last night the Milky Way was as vivid as I have seen it in a long time and was punctuated by lots of shooting stars and satellites. A sailor's life can be hard but has many rewards.
