The crew on OB decided to sleep in after 4 days of travel.  We didn’t leave West End until the checkout time of 11AM.  The weather was beautiful with partly cloudy skies.  We watched rain storms develop around us throughout the day but never had a raindrop hit OB.

The waters were unbelievable.  Neither Todd or I had ever seen anything such an amazing blue and so clear.  Although we could see starfish crawling along the bottom and one large shark as we passed through Indian Pass, there was a constant wind that disturbed a clear view of the aquarium we were in.

The color of the waters in the Bahamas was indescribable...even with the constant winds from El Nino.

We traveled to an anchorage in the crook of Great Sale Cay.  It’s a favorite spot used by many boaters traversing the bank to the Abaco Sea.  OB sat quietly through the night.  We continued to see storm clouds around us but nothing came our way.
