West End, Grand Bahama Bound for Fort Pierce Inlet and Vero Beach, FL


We arrived at West End just as the sun was rising.  We made our way into the harbor basin and dropped anchor since the fuel dock was not yet open.  We were very tired from our overnight passage.  So, we went to sleep for a few hours.  We woke in late afternoon, ate lunch, weighed anchor and moved to the fuel dock to take on diesel and clear customs/immigration.  Clearing was very easy and we were soon back at anchor in the basin waiting for an early evening departure for Fort Pierce Inlet and eventually Vero Beach.



Sundown Heading Home


We departed West End at 1700 and set a course due east 270 degrees True.  There was not enough of a breeze to keep a sail full.  So, we motored along in very calm waters.  Just before midnight we saw a ship heading east.  Other than that, we saw no other vessels.  We had the advantage of a full moon and very calm seas.  Life was good.
