Lundy Charters Founders are entering the Sea of Abaco

After a very calm day of cruising in the open ocean, we entered the Sea of Abaco through the Little Harbour cut. We are going to travel north until we get tired and then anchor up for the evening. Tomorrow we plan to go to Nippers on Great Guana island for the beach BBQ, to relax on the beach, and swim in the pool.

Last night as we were rounding the last marks to enter the harbour we saw what looked to be shimmering off a reflector at sea. We slowed down for a closer look and found out they were fireworks coming from Gorda Cay (about 40 miles North). Disney bought the island and uses it as a destination for their cruises. They have even renamed it Castaway Cay. We cruised by it on our way North today, it is the southernmost settlement of any kind on or around Great Abaco Island.

The crew disembarked at the hurricane hole marina in Nassau this morning. Captain Jim and First Mate Chris set sail for the Sea of Abaco for a few days of well deserved rest and relaxation. The seas are very calm (one to two feet) and the crossing is going beautifully.
