We scrubbed the boat in the morning to remove the salt spray from the crossing after our
morning coffee in the cockpit. We followed "One Love" slowly through Indian Point Channel
keeping one eye on the depth gauge. We went through at dead low tide seeing 5 1/2 feet-
7 feet through much of the channel, thankful for the lead boat. The published waypoints
seemed to be accurate and trustworthy. It was a beautiful day and we watched the starfish under
us as we passed over them. Most of the day was spent with no land in sight until we pulled into
the anchorage at Great Sale Cay, an island out in the middle of nowhere.
We arrived right at sunset which was beautiful after a long day. Ed and Joyce dinghied over for a lobster tail dinner on our boat.which was wonderful. The stars at night were unbelieveable.

Sunday, Dec. 9
We had a wonderful quiet night at anchor. The new anchor holds very well, being hard
to pull up. Carol went for a swim off the back of the boat first thing in the morning (a little
cool but not bad ). After a long day we headed into White Sound on Turtle Cay right at
dark, very tricky but successful and took a mooring ball for the night, sleeping soundly.
Zero Dollar Day.
