Great Guana

We left Treasure Cay this morning. Treasure Cay is a beautiful resort on Grand Bahama. The beach is long with clean powdery sand lined with huge homes and the town homes along the harbor are all painted with bright colors.

 We spent two days at anchor in the small anchorage with our friend Debbie on Illusions. We also caught up with Ken and Sara on Alegria a beautiful Cabo Rico 38. We went to pizza night at Treasure Cay Marina on Thursday. It was mobbed with locals, cruisers and all the families with kids on spring break that have flown in from the States. 

We arrived in Great Guana this morning and came in to Grabbers for a beer and internet connection. Our booster will have to be returned to the manufacturer when we return to the US as we cannot get power to it no matter what we have tried so we only get internet when we come into shore. 

The high temps are in the low 70's and the lows in the 60's. Too cold for me!! Tomorrow things will start warming up once again. We are watching the weather to see when we can head back but it doesn't look good all the way to next weekend. We hear that the temps are low on the east coast down to Florida so we are just as happy staying here rather than going back even if we could (which we can't) to cold windy days on our way up to the Chesapeake. 

We just looked at the forecast through next Sunday and don't see an opportunity to cross back to the states.  We were hoping to sail from the top of the Bahamas to South or North Carolina.  Last year we were able to make it to Charleston.  Monday we will move farther north and west.  We had hoped to go to Green Turtle Cay and then to Great Sail Cay and on to the US.  We are looking at other islands now where we might stop along the way such as Manjack and Spanish Cay.
Hope you all have a Happy Easter,
