70 nautical miles

When I woke up we were just leaving Dotham Cut. The Knights were right behind us, headed for Georgetown. We were underway towards Calabash Bay.


We had our jib up for a little while but soon dropped it because neither tacks had a good bearing to waypoint and we were set to make it to the bay by midnight. We ended up motoring straight into the wind. It was literally a degree or two off our bow! The trip was very slow-going with the wind and waves against us. Every time the boat went over a wave it would crash down and everything would shake. It didn't get any better over the course of the next 12 hours. We finally reached the protection of Calabash Bay around 7 pm.


After anchoring right beside Alisara we dinghied over. Cyrus and Arthur were overjoyed to see each other. I think they would have swum to each other should the need have risen! Alice and Clarke joined them to play legos. We met their new teacher, Jess. She's really nice. We had the tuna that the Pattisons caught only yesterday for dinner. It was amazing! Around 11 pm we headed back to Running Tide. Cyrus stayed on Alisara for a sleepover.
