Fresh Creek, Andros, Bahamas to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos








We stayed at Fresh Creek on Friday, 12/23/11- in the evening Ralph and Wendy on their boat "Altona" showed up at the marina. We had met Ralph and Wendy at Morgan's Bluff. They are also headed for the Caribbean, and we are following them on their blog. We had a beautiful sail on Saturday in the Tongue of the Ocean south to Gibson Cay, Middle Bight. On Christmas we explored Gibson Cay and were happy to talk to family back home for the holiday. On Monday, we dinghied into Moxeytown for some fuel, then left our anchorage around noon. We anchored at Green Cay- our most remote anchorage ever- it's on the eastern wall of the Tongue of the Ocean. It's an uninhabitat island and no other boats were anchored there. On Tuesday we sailed across the bank and anchored at Piper Cay. Our next stop was Little Farmer's Cay, and then Georgetown, Great Exuma. We got a weather window on New year's eve day and travelled through two nights, arriving at Sopadilla Bay, Provo, Turks and Caicos on Monday. We met Jim and Sue of  "Blackthorn"- good friends Rich and Barb of "Aquila".
