Out away from the city lights a rising full moon becomes a
huge focal point in the dark night.
Bright orange, sending a path of shining diamonds on the water, it rose
about 20 degrees on the horizon and then vanished behind a cloud layer. Our first night in Pelican Bay was our last
night on the water, peaceful with temperatures conducive to sleeping
comfortably.
Three hours to home we were anxious to catch the steady easterly
10 knot wind which would give us our final sailing fix for a while.
If you don’t get to go on a trip you have planned for six
months and must return instead to home, what better place than to Charlotte
Harbor. In fact, as we glided through its
water, we asked ourselves, “Why did we want to leave this place at all?” A place where the sailing is amazing, the
beauty of the harbor unspoiled and unmatched, maintained canals edged with immaculate
landscapes and vessels of all shapes and sizes docked amidst a quiet harbor of
like-minded boaters. It was good to be
home, to our chosen family of Mariners and friends, to this PGI paradise.
Didn’t mean to make this sound like an advertisement, but
gosh it’s great here!!!
Coming soon a follow up…reflections…wrap up of our three
week non-Bahamian cruise.
