Easting on the Bahama Banks

Captains notes:


I anchored up near the NW channel light at about 10:00 last night in light air and one foot seas. I really wanted to make Nassau (needed) last night but I was just too tired owing to a late departure from Coconut grove.


I'm in the Tongue of the ocean in 5 to 6 foot seas with the wind out of the east. The wind is too close hauled to make New Providence so I fell off and will go around the western tip of Nassau than across the yellow Banks for the closest landfall in the Exumas, about ninety miles from here.


Looks like I will just make it to Staniel Cay in time for my guest's arrival.
