After 2-3 hours sailing with light winds we motored the rest of the 20 miles to Calabash Bay, Long Island. A new French bread recipe tried en route unfortunately turned into something resembling foccacia, but all was soon forgotten as we arrived in time for happy hour at the Cape Santa Maria Resort in Calabash Bay. The resort had the most stunning extremely fine, white sand beach ever - apparently one of the 10 finest in the world. And it stretched on for 4 miles, with crystal clear, waters - in fact, we noticed we could see the bottom 66 feet below our boat on our approach. The Canadian run resort was stunning and we both enjoyed margaritas and conch fritters while watching the sun set. This was definitely a “10” day. Cape Santa Maria is named for one of Christopher Columbus’ boats as there is some history to suggest that he landed here.
