Cape Marina, Cape Canaveral, FL
April 29, 2007
We hoisted anchor at Manjack Cay on Friday, stopped for fuel and one last loaf of Bahamian bread at Spanish Cay and then motor sailed with the Code Zero up until Sale Cay. We motored from sunset until we made the Little Bahamas Bank. All the trip so far was lovely, THEN we hit 25 knot winds and VERY CONFUSED SEAS. Night Flight was rollying from gunnale to gunnale. I was tossed around the main saloon twice - nice black and blue marks to show. We were both not feeling well and Boris was a nervous wreck even with two Calming tablets. I pulled every medium size towel I could find to stuff in all of the cabinets and I still lost a few things. At dawn, after no sleep on my part, we were still rolling, but not as bad. Our original plan was to accompany Tilt, a Passport 47, on to Fernandina, but that meant another entire night out arriving there about 10:00AM today. We opted to motor sail into Cape Canaveral arriving at 4:00AM this morning. We are now on a T dock and have just completed a hearty breakfast since |
