Following a fitful night’s sleep for Steve, I can sleep through anything; we had an early morning departure.   It was another glorious day.  The winds were NE, variable, with reduced seas from yesterday.  We motor sailed across the banks and saw only a few boats heading NW.  We have anchored in the lee of Chub Cay’s south shore, where Steve went fishing, successfully.  We feasted on yellow tail snapper and big-eyed scad.  YUM!  We will leave for Nassau in the morning.
