We departed Fresh Creek Andros eastbound for Highborne Cay of course into a stiff easterly. Magnolia really showed her metal as we still continue to get to know her. As long as I kept my foot off the pedal she plugged right along just as happy as a boat could be, and we were too. It was a long 5o mile day passage but as good as we could have hoped for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have not been in the Bahamas for two years so it was nice to be back in the familiarity of Highborne and the Exumas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fellow Krogenites, MV Unforgettable and Privateer were at Cambridge so we skipped Wardwick Wells and headed on down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting into Cambridge Cay can be a little confusing and maybe a little daunting….once you see a 135ft mega yacht go through…you kind of loose your excuses…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once in the mooring field this is what awaits….just beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wonderful afternoon on the shore on at Cambridge Cay – Off to the Conch Nursery – Thank you Lisa (Privateer) for leading the excursion. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From Cambridge we moved down to Black Point, Exumas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fish cleaning dock always has a variety of guys coming by for a snack on the leftovers. We don’t dangle our toes in case they get confused!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work colleague, Pat McWherter whom I knew by name is also aboard a boat making his first trip to the Bahamas. Our mutual friend Byran Metts connected which was really cool <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pat and his crew were heading north as we were heading south and crossed paths here in Black Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orion does not currently have a water maker. Magnolia makes more and stores more than we can possibly need so we were able to give Orion a good fashion style UN-REP (underway replenishment). We enjoyed a couple of cigars and some shared gratitude for the circumstances we find ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

About the time Orion was departing, our friends Scott and Melissa arrived aboard Unforgettable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A beach walk in search of sea-glass was embarked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
