Tongue of the Ocean

Monday, May 11, 2015

Well we made it from Bimini to Chub Cay.  It was a bit of a challenge as the seas were variable from 3-5 feet with an east wind of about 15-20 knots or more.  John L did a great job of keeping course, watching all of the nautical variables (with everyone in mind) and navigated water the likes that he had not seem much of in the past.  Nice job John L.!  After the adventurous ride, and getting some fuel we all decide it was time to spend some time in the pool for the rest of the afternoon. 

The smallest slip length in Chub Cay is 60 feet.  We have floating concrete docks, a great facility and many fabulous sport fish boats to "drool" over.
