Sailing back to Port Lucaya

Due to high winds we stayed in Governor's Harbour for 2 nights. Of course when we're trying to sail back the winds are either gone or from the wrong direction. We did manage to do some sailing with both sails up and the motors off for a while.
Circle of fish herded by sharks?
typical sight, another freighter
Easter Eggs, too much time on my hands.
Most favourite spot.
Least favourite spot.

Took turns keeping watch, fortunately the moon was very bright. On my watch we passed 5 cruise ships and 1 very large freighter. Radar was skewed and what I thought was off to starboard was really straight ahead of us! The freighter turned before hitting us. Apparently he was so close that I should have woken someone up  - oops! I finally got to "drive" for more than a few minutes (the times the guys put the main sail up or down) as we sailed into Bell Channel, Port Lucaya. It took approximately 26 hours to get back.
