Our First Overnight Passage - (Two Days and One Night) - Rum Cay to Mayaguana Island The early morning hours of April l9th found us hoisting our dingy on board in preparation for our 130 mile passage to Mayaguana Island. Chris Parker's forecast was for light SW winds to clock to the West then North today; then Northeast overnight and tomorrow. We cleared Rum Cay's shallow coral laden waters at 0930 hours and set out on a course of 130 degrees true. Through-out the night we had periodic check-ins with our two travelling companion boats. During the night our boat made a path through the bio-luminesent plankton leaving what looked like hundreds of under-water fire flys in our wake. At ll00 hours on the second day of our journey we realized that we had made an error in scale when switching between charts. We thought we should be able to see Mayaguana Island by this point, off our starboard bow, only to find we were still 20 miles off it's northern shore. Since arriving in daylight was of utmost importance, we set a course in as direct a line as possible to arrive at our desired anchorage, and went under power. We layed anchor at 1530 hours in Russell Bay on Mayaguana's south coast, opting for this deep water location rather than the neighbouring reef and coral laden shelter of Abraham's Bay. Blind Faith and Taima followed in 2 and 3 hours later, respectively. Anchor to anchor - Rum Cay to Mayaguana Island - 33 hours
