Staging for Return Transit - Providence Island West Bay 30 Mar

 


   We sat out the mild frontal passage anchored in Montague Bay to the east of Nassau as the winds shifted from the southwest to northwest to northeast. 

   Friday it was 20-25kts from the northeast so we stayed on the boat all day and prepared for our transit back to the states. Topped off the oil and antifreeze and secured gear for sea.


   Saturday morning and the winds are down to 15kts so we are moving over to West Bay on the western shore of Providence Island. It has better protection from the northeast winds and will cut a couple hours off our transit back to Florida.

   We were delayed 15mins passing through Nassau harbor as we had to wait for one of the many cruise ships to enter the harbor and get moored. There are 5 cruise boats in this morning.


   Entering the West Bay anchorage. There were six boats here when we arrived. Another six came in after us, all preparing to cross over to Florida over the next couple days with light southeasterly winds forecasted.


   Our last sunset from the Bahamas, looking west from our anchorage. We get underway tomorrow morning for Florida.
