Burntside Adventures

Our Bahamas part of our winter is almost over. We are going to cross back to Florida in the morning weather permitting and the weather window still looks favorable tonight. It has been amazing and learned a lot. Loads of beautiful sunrises, sunsets, anchorages and adventures. We are at West End of Grand Bahama Island tonight. Two days ago we anchored at Moraine Cay. It turned out to be the best of the trip and a great place to wind things down. It was isolated, rarely used and we were all alone. Weent for a snorkel in the afternoon and the coral, although the best we have seen yet, was dangerous due to the current flowing out. I thought we were going to get washed out to the Atlantic. The island itself reminded me of fish camps on the Canadian side, the island is for sale for 2 M but the buildings are basically frame cabins, 3 off them. The beaches on both the bank and ocean side were gorgeous. No one around. We were disappointed that we couldn't snorkel the coral that afternoon, so delayed our departure the next morning and snorkeled at slack tide, amazing, and the lobster hunting went well.When we departed, went on to Sale Cay and then on to West End today. I reviewed our data this evening. Since mid January we have traveled 1750 miles, averaged 5 miles/gallon of diesel including generator use and watched 31 Wild games. Stayed a total of 3 nights in marinas. We never ran out of beer or tequila.
