The Bahamas
The Abacos: Little Harbour and Tilloo Bank
We sailed about 60 from Meeks Patch by Spanish Wells to Little Harbour, Abacos. It was a great downwind sail to a new island chain! The best part? We re-united with one of our first Bahamas cruising friends, Ñandú. We first met in the Berry Islands in March and have been stalking them ever since.

We then motored to Sandy Cay for snorkeling. A charter cat anchored literally right on top of us. This is going to be entertaining! We headed to Tilloo Bank to anchor, and several charter boats tried very hard to run us down. I kept alterering course to steer clear. I'd say they thought chicken was fun, but I actually think they just aren't paying any attention. There are a lot of boats in the Abacos, and a lot of them are chartered by vacationers who are having way too much of a good time.

It's been a pleasure to meet all three of you along the way. In fact we're missing you now. We are going to start stalking you.
