Well today the wind eased up and we were able to get out of the Marsh Harbour airport. The managers of the Abaco Inn, Judy and John, were taking their boat across to Marsh Harbour for some shopping this morning. They were very nice to offer us a ride and then they drove us to the airport.
Thanks Judy & John.
We took off to the East then turned South. Staniel Cay is about 150 miles from Marsh Harbour. We had a nice tailwind and were doing 130 knots. So the trip only took about an hour and a half. There was a cross wind here but not too bad. It had been blowing very hard here this past week also. Today it eased up to about 10-15 knots.
After landing we called Pete's friends Jack & Gail on the VHF radio. They came over in the golf cart to pick us up. Jack used to fly and they have been coming to Staniel Cay 22 years. We'll be here for a few days or who knows how long. This afternoon we did some final prep work so their boat can go in the water tomorrow morning. Maybe we'll have fresh fish for dinner tomorrow.
