Sometimes the weather forecast makes us change our desired plans and today was one such day. Needing to head northwest to get Sally back to Nassau by Saturday night, we’d like a day with easterly or southerly winds so we won’t have to tack our way north. We had such winds today (15-20 knots out of the SE) but the forecast for Saturday called for northwest winds with occasional squalls. So instead of facing lousy conditions on Saturday, we decided it best to take advantage of the favorable winds and reach Nassau (Coral Harbour) today. Consequently, we left Warderick Wells at 8 am heading north, and sailed across the emerald green banks arriving at Nick and Carolyn’s dock in Coral Harbor, New Providence around 5:30pm in time for rum o’clock. As tomorrow is Carolyn’s 80th birthday, champagne was uncorked and we met some new friends: Norwegians Per and Alva aboard Hug, and aboard Sandpiper Dave, Linda and Susan.
