Video: Sailing Royal Island to Abacos

We sailed a dream sail with beam winds 20-25 50 nm from Royal Island near Spanish Wells up to Little Harbor on Abaco. Here is a GoPro video, 2 minutes that I shot to show the scene. Sail on....

Here are some photos of this great sailing day.

The day began with this beautiful sunrise off Royal Island
This is IP38 MOONDANCE

Look MOM, no staysail boom, it is not needed.
Same as a Saga 43 rig

This is our trip so far this year. We departed Tampa Bay Jan. 1, 2014

When sailing in 4-6 foot ocean swells, the video and the photos never show the real conditions. These photos show the swells in which a 38 foot Island Packet Yacht disappears behind a swell. This gives a better reference to the sailing conditions. We are now in HOPE TOWN, ABACO where we will stay for a week! Welcome to ABACO
