Long Island – Bahamas

We sailed from George Town to Long Island, about a 24 mile sail to the east. The wind shift that day allowed us to sail east which wasn’t possible for the previous two weeks.

At the northern tip of this large 50 mile island we anchored in a somewhat protected bay.

This island is famous for Christopher Columbus arriving here in 1492, along with a few other Bahamian islands. It’s turns out Christopher Columbus never sailed to USA or even close. He did sail to South America on another voyage.

Sailing out from George Town with many other using the wind shift to sail.
