Not sure how I did it but I am on line through a marina at Chub Cay. We moved 80 miles or so today, a big day. The Grand Bahama Bank was much more pleasant, The seas were quiet and we did good! Left about 6:45 this morning and made camp about 6 pm this evening at Chub Cay. It is a stopping off spot and not much else. Got in 45 minutes before sundown and timing was good. 4 boats in this anchorage and not room for a lot more. Tomorrow will move on to New Providence Island and West Bay is the plan. There is a park there with a free dinghy dock, we can get the bikes out, maybe get some fresh supplies and it is only 35-40 miles, so if we get going at daybreak will be there by noon. Then on to the exumas, another 45 miles on Wednesday. Coming across the bank went well, it started out a bit blustery, but went flat over mid day and then when we exited the bank and back into the deep water, the swells were there but not much for waves. Watching the bottom fall out of the depth finder was amazing. The bank is 6-16 feet for 65 miles, like a huge mesa, the depth never varies, then we came off it and over several hundred yards it is 2000 feet deep. Boat ran great. After our trial run 2 days ago that didn't go so well, Cindy is happy. Took some pictures but I can't upload them right now, without access with the phone, so look tomorrow or the next day. I took some pictures of the bottom as we were moving at 7.5 knots and it is just gin clear. But we went 10 hours with no sight of land, getting used to that.
Engine hours 4876.0
Genset hours 5498.7

Pics not publishe initially:

Crossing the bank, no land for 10 hours

Depth here is about 10 feet and that is our anchor chain on the bottom this morning at 6:30
