Up again and off early.  We sailed to Calabash Harbour on Long Island in the Bahamas and arrived around 5p.  This was a beautiful harbor with a long sandy beach.  It looked like there was a resort on the shore with rented villas.  The water was a gorgeous turquoise color.

We’ve been sailing in the deep water of the Atlantic because the waves are small and the water is deep.  When we enter the bank, the depth is quite shallow.  In Calabash Harbour we were sailing with between 3 and 5 feet of water under our keel.  This meant that we needed to keep a sharp lookout for coral heads so that we didn’t hit them.  With quite a bit of maneuvering, we made it to anchor.
