Royal Island, Eleuthera, Bahamas

 A bit breezy in the open anchorage with wavelets slapping the hull all night.  Pretty moon to start the early morning.

 

Finally got the sails up (I know the anchor light is still on - it turns off automatically now when it's daylight).

 

I had to alter course a bit for a couple of cruise ships coming in to dock at sunrise at their weird private island they call Coco Bay (but we see it as it's real name of Great Stirrup Cay).

 

This one is called Rhapsody of the Seas and is actually pretty small.

 

This one was HUGE!  (Kinda cool lighting at sunrise).

 

We had a fabulous sail!  The winds were steady all day long.

Mid-day we had both of the fishing reels hit simultaneously - usually means either mahi-mahi or tuna as they tend to be in schools or at least paired up.  One of the hits got away...but one did not!

 

After a good fight - a very nice plump skipjack tuna.

That was about it for the long sailing day....arrived at Eleuthera just at sundown.  Once anchored Duane cleaned the fish (it had been chilling in the freezer since caught).  My supper, yum!  (in case you're curious, I drizzled the raw tuna with sesame oil, sprinkled "Everything Bagel" spice all around, then touched it on all sides to a hot frying pan to sear the edges.)
