West End to Spanish Wells

Our passage from West End, Grand Bahama to Spanish Wells, Eleuthera went well as far as passages go. We traveled 144 nautical miles overnight and arrived at Spanish Wells at 11 am. We had enough wind to sail most of the trip and the seas were relatively calm. Not long after we left West End we were hailed on the VHF radio by ZoZo, another sailboat. They wanted us to take a picture of their boat and email it to them. We did and they returned the favor. 

There were numerous ships coming and going in our route but none that we had to evade. Just before midnight—as George was preparing to come on watch and I was preparing to go off watch—I noticed what looked like a large comet streaking across the sky. I called for George to come up and see it before it disappeared. It was too fast to be a comet and we assume it was a meteorite. The tail was so wide and long, I have never seen anything like it.
