• Spanish Wells, Eleuthera

    May 6 on the Bahamas ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    Our second day of travel started with a delicious oatmeal breakfast prepared by Tyler. He's been making breakfast every day with the meager supplies we have on board. We then filled up with gas for the next leg of our journey (thankfully I asked before filling the boat if he could take a credit card, because he said "yes" but we would have to wait there 4 hours until the restaurant opened because they have the CC machine! So we depleted most of our cash on just enough gas to get us safely to Spanish Wells)

    We did 78 miles today and it was a beautiful trip, shallow turquoise waters and beautiful beaches. We had to pass through a narrow cut that looked treacherous on the map but turned out to be quite safe and easy.

    Spanish Wells is a cute little town with a few restaurants and golf car rental places. We had a nice lunch (Mahi fish tacos) at Wrecker's which allows you to dock for free while you eat. Afterwards, we walked the marina admiring the other boats before gassing up again and anchoring in a cute little bay with surprisingly good snorkeling where we will spend the night tonight.
