Keene Sailing

If you looked at our track coming here you might say, can’t they sail in a straight line? Once again the wind was coming from the south and that was where we were heading so we had to do a lot of tacking. Also it was a pretty breezy day so it was a beautiful sail but kind of rough. We made it to Little Harbour close to high tide, we needed that deeper water both to get out of White Sound and into here so we couldn’t dilly dally. This is the end of the spots on the Sea of Abaco, and some would argue the prettiest. There is not much here in the way of facilities no fuel, marinas, grocery store, but they have Pete’s Pub and some of the best reefs to snorkel, caves to explore, and beaches to comb. Randolf Johnston, a well known sculpture, settled here in the 50’s and created some amazing art using as his subjects mostly local animals such as Osprey, sea turtles, fish, etc. His son Pete took over the foundry and started Pete’s Pub, and today Saturday was his birthday. Folks this was bigger than Nippers, the pig roast was very good, Virginia thought Nippers was better, but the party was great. They had a live band and an auction selling many stunning pieces, too bad we don’t have room for stuff!

Tomorrow we will be leaving here and head to Lynyard Cay to anchor and explore then bright and early Monday morning we will leave the Abacos and head down to Royal Harbour 8-10 hours south of here.  I doubt we will have Internet initially, a run over to Spanish Wells on Tuesday and we should be able to fill you in on the passage.
