Alabaster bay – Bahamas

Today we planned to sail to governors town but the wind direction, wind speed and 3-5 of swell and chop made it too difficult to sail that 20 miles. We found protection from the 30 knot winds in alabaster bay. It also seems to have little swell so the boat doesn’t roll.

We still sailed for 3 hours in a close haul in a very pitchy sea.

Tomorrow we plan to sail into governors town for a night.
