Once again, we are reminded why schedules are a sailors worse enemy. While we wanted to show our friends Shroud Cay, we decided to head south from Warderick Wells to get at least one day of good sailing before the winds shifted. Had we not, we would have had at least one more day of motoring with the winds and the waves on the nose. Rather than head out in the sound, where we were expecting worse conditions, we decided to stay on the Bahamas Bank side. Yes, it would be a longer distance, but we wanted to see the West Side of Great Exuma Island. We had a great night at Little Farmers Cay. Were able to pick up three huge lobster tails from a local fisherman on the last day of the season. Then we head on over to Ty's for a bonfire at sunset. We got a great nights sleep but needed to weigh anchor early to make our way to about 1/2 of the distance to Hog Cay Cut. We anchored on the southwest side of Coakley Cay (Flamingo Cay) at the end of a "tongue" of deep water. All of the charts showed something different for this region. We spun around at anchor all night despite winds in the 15kn range. The current must have been pretty strong there, something we had not expected. Suffice it to say, I didn't get much sleep due to being woken by the bridle on the bob stays. HJog Cay is a shallow cut on the south side of Little Exuma Island needs to be taken at high tide. We woke at 6am and intended to weigh anchor at 6:30. We're glad we started earlier than this because the bridle had somehow gotten caught underneath the starboard hull...very weird.

The Elan 37 Hindsight made a good recovery after a slow start to chase down the J109 Going to Red a couple of minutes into the racing out of the Quoile Yacht Club. Hindsight gybe shortly after this to split the course with the rest of the fleet, this turned out be a smart move as they headed for the counter tide on the Portaferry shore of Strangford lough. They did not look great early as the rest of the fleet stayed high and in pressure, as the leg went on it became clear that they would lead at the Bottom Mark. Hindsight stretched out to a lead by over over two minutes, GTR fort hard on the next beat to chase the leader down, going on to win the race. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying these short clips of racing action from the 2024 season.
