good food music that makes you move

amazing scenery and great people this

was our last day in Morgan's Bluff

tomorrow we would set sail for New

Providence day one was Monday February

26 we left at 6:30 a.m. we traveled 30

miles from Morgan's Bluff to West Bay

right there at the west end of New

Providence we arrived at roughly 4:30

p.m.

we're leaving Morgan's bluff we're gonna

attempt to go directly into the wind and

get to Nassau it's it's low winds but

it's dead in our face it's the best

window we've had in the last week so

we're gonna go for it and see what

happens

might have to tack depending on how it

goes we might motor but try to save

diesel you know we'll see how it goes on

the fifth day of this trip sterling saw

the jib flapping around and told me to

use the drawstring I know it's hard to

watch but eventually we do manage to get

that fist

okay we were trying to motor dead into

the wind of course he waited until the

first calm day we could find and it was

directly into our face so running the

engine a little bit harder than we hope

to try to go at least three knots the

water started coming out of the overflow

tank so we had to drop it down to 2200

rpm with at 2200 RPMs we realized that

we were doing 1.5 to 2 knots into the

waves and wind so we decided to pull out

the jib and tack obviously we cannot

make our heading so we had to go off

course about a hundred and five and now

we're currently doing a hundred and

eighty and once we get to a position

where our bearing will be 105 will do

one more attack and hopefully Coast

right on and there

[Music]

all right we just arrived on the west

end of New Providence basically NASA and

Sterling invited us over so we're gonna

go over the charts and he's shutting out
