Follow Our Journey! Bravo, Charlie, Foxtrot, & Sierra 1- Day 15
Written by Dan V., captain on FLX
Today was a wonderful day for Mega Fleet—we went to Dead Man’s Bay! Such a beautiful anchorage! After waking up at Nanny Cay, we had an early start at 6:45 and began our pre-departure checks. Next, we sailed upwind to the east to Dead Man’s Bay, remaining close hauled at a 45-degree angle to the wind thanks to our skilled skipper Sylvie, sailing in beautiful conditions with about 23 knots of consistent wind, making for a smooth and rapid sail. We tacked around 4 times to create our zig-zag course into the wind until we came to Dead Man’s Bay, dropped our sails, and dropped our anchor next to a gorgeous beach full of palm trees!
We then had a great time swimming and snorkeling and doing dives off our boat, we even saw a turtle and two starfish, one directly under our boat! Our campers have been smashing out their diving qualifications, so they had a well-earned chilled afternoon after an exhilarating morning sail. We finished off a cake we baked last night for sustenance on the sail.
Next, we worked on our chili cook-off! Our theme was Shark Tank, all our campers dressed up in shirts and paper ties and we impressed the judges with a homecooked chili by Kackie and Myles, and presented them with our business proposition!
After that, we finished our chili and had a chilled evening after watching a killer sunset here at our anchorage, ready for another jam-packed day of sailing, diving, and having fun tomorrow!
