In The Berry Islands

Posted by on December 15, 2014

We are in the Berry Islands! We left Bimini yesterday just after lunch and dropped anchor at 8am this morning. We had a fantastic sail for all but a few of the 19 hours it took to get here. There’s just no wiping the smile off your face when the engine is off and you’re sailing at 6kts. What a night, clear star filled sky, moon rose just after midnight, cool but not cold, saw at least half a dozen shooting stars, and no engine! Oh the sunrise, one of the most spectacular I have seen.

 

Right now we have pretty good cell/data service with our range extender. We are headed to a remote part of these islands and doubt if we will continue to get service so I thought I would put up some more pictures.

 

In this picture we are in the center of the circle and the vessel passing just behind us is a 700 foot container ship. We passed really close maybe a little too close.

While in Bimini we stayed at Brown’s Marina:

We put our Christmas lights on the boat. Picture is not so good but they look great:

    That’s the real beauty of cruising under sail. No engine. The pictures are great. Enjoy the ride. Talk to you when we can.
    Love ya!

    How fun to have such a good, long sail. And we were glad to read that “being in the berries” did not mean you had run aground! WHEW. Thanks for giving us a view through pictures!
