Varuna's Travels

A lousy sailing day!
Berry islands -Lucaya (Grand Bahama)
Here is our actual track taken off the computer, of our trip. The color is “night-mode” since I captured the screen approx at 23:00hrs.

If you note the time line of 12:00 (noon) you will see a big detour in our track. We were confronted by squalls all around us. Rain, lightning and to top it all, a water-spout.(Tornado on the ocean) Not very pleasant.

By night fall, the weather was still bad and there were still squalls ahead of us, so we made a decision to change our direction and seek shelter at Lucaya.

One is never to enter a port at night, but we had already been there a few times, so we felt comfortable with the entrance over the reef. We arrived at midnight. After a well deserved rum, and a hot shower, we fell asleep like the dead. The plan was to leave the following night for the USA
