Chat ‘N’ Chill Mooring Field

Our time on a mooring ball at the Chat ‘N’ Chill mooring field has been a pleasant surprise. We chose this location for the convenience while our daughter and son-in-law visited. It is close to shore, restaurants, and trails. We thought we would be able to visit those places even if we had strong wind from the NE and that proved to be true. We were concerned, however, that being located near such a busy beach would mean we would have lots of noise and wakes from boats coming and going. That was not the case at all and it has worked out quite well. We plan to stay another two days, then sail NW to Staniel Cay where we will pick up our new windlass motor. The motor is now at Makers Air in Fort Lauderdale and they will fly it to Staniel Cay within a few days. 

George has been busy working on disconnecting our windlass, which is no easy task. The poor access, poor visibility,  copious amounts of sealant on the nuts and bolts, and the need to work left-handed have made it challenging. It is all part of working on a boat.
