We went to
APRIL 9, 2008
Left Mangoes at 0940. We headed to Great Guana Cay. We picked up a mooring ball in fishers bay. Half way across to Guana Cay, the auto helm showed the rudder at 26 degrees when we had the rudder at mid ship. The indicator slowly fixed itself. When we tried to use the auto pilot, the helm went hard over so we had to shut it down. We worked on it when we got to the mooring ball. We were able to fix the problem some what, we need to get some parts and we will look for the parts in

We went from fishers bay to red bay. We dropped some buoys to look for the anchor. We still did not find the anchor. We sailed the whole way. It was great.

We motored from
April 13, 2008
We pulled anchor and motored back into Mangoes. The weather is calling for strong winds and rain with 20 to 30 knot winds. During the passing of the storm front, we will see gale force winds. Safety dictates we come into the marina during this cold front. We got another anchor, this is a fortress 40lb anchor. The fortress knock off we had for a 38’ boat was only 20 lbs so we are in great shape with this one.

Sue and Bob,
Looks like you guys are having the time of your lives. I am sure you are not missing the winters of the northeast, cold, damp and windy and that was todays weather. It is getting better, and by the time you return, the sun and blue skies will have followed you back.
Tidewater is quiet without you guys and Hour Passion is missing her dockmate, and us our neighbors.
In the meanwhile, its paint the bottom, wax the hull and start the new season.
We look forward to seeing you about two anchors from now (thats about two or three months for those of us who like to keep ours).
Best wishes for safe sailing and a happy return.
Tom & Eileen
Hi Captains. Sorry you could not find your anchor but maybe when you go to look again, you will be successful. I am glad you are staying "out of the weather"! It is very nice to hear from you. Jim and I were talking and said you two may love it there so much you might not ever come back this way. We sure do miss you. Take care and keep having the adventure of a lifetime!!!
Love, Jim and Nancy
