Cat Cay Yacht Club Bahamas

Hello to all... Both of us woke very early this morning... so excited.. could not sleep... we shoved off from Port Everglades at 6:37 am.. This is the first leg of our journey... we have traveled,now, almost 1,000 miles since we left Morehead City, NC...It has been exciting, hard, so many emotions come to mind.. but all worth it.... NOAA said it would be 2 footers,7-14 out of the SE...WRONG... and it was on the nose an honest 4-6ft waves... made for an intersting passage... Needless to say, Mamma and Cats were GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 7 and one half hours, we arrived into Cat Cay Yacht Club Marina,, a private island...It is very beautiful.. can't begin to tell you how wonderful the water is .... Did not make many pics yet.. but more will come....SeaVeyor did wonderful....we proceeded to get settled in, got all the salt off of her, and are preparing dinner as we speak..Customs is allowing us to stay for six months to enjoy this journey... as we hunt for lobster and when they run out.. will fish!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are heading to Chub Kay if the weather holds.. if not, we will run to Bimini and explore a few days there while waiting on weather....Now let me explain an earlier sentence... Mamma would not have gotten green, but realized that I needed to secure things a little better below and was worried about the cats and I stayed down longer than I should have....that's what got me! Duh.... live and learn.... Can't wait to see the sunrise here... Made a pic of the inlet here with the little lighthouse... the marina and the SeaVeyor at her dock...and our flags coming in, which were the Bahamina Courtesy Flag and our Quarantine flag until we were passed thru Customs...
Ok... seem to be having trouble uploading my pics... will send these later... sorry about that...
Merry Christmas to all.... Dwayne and Linda
