Hopetown to Green Turtle


Hello again!! We're still in the midst of our whirlwind tour through the Abacos. It is definitely a different scene compared to the Exumas. The Jubilee crew is convinced that the Exumas are a lot more our style. Things are more developed up here and opportunities to fish and snorkel just haven't been presenting themselves as easily as they did in the Exumas.

But, we still have been seeking out the beaches and many of them have been gorgeous. Sailing in the Sea of Abaco has been another big plus. The water is relatively calm and we've been able to have some fantastic sails (ie. reading a good book with the autopilot on). Yesterday we passed through the Whale Cay Channel. It is one of the more challenging spots in the Abacos. Luckily the weather and tides were right and we slipped down the channel along with quite a few six foot rollers. Not book reading conditions but a pretty fun sail.

We'll be checking out the heritage festival being held on Green Turtle Cay today and then we'll be deciding on where to head next. With the calm weather predicted ahead it looks like we may be making our jump back to the states pretty soon. As always, we'll keep you posted. And for now enjoy some more photos from our trip.
