Arrival at Grand Bahama Island 0430. It was a long 17 hour trip. Auto pilot failed after 4 hours into the voyage, leaving us to hand steer the rest of the way. Chris steered most of the way, I handled a couple of hours here and there. Winds did not cooperate, was NOT in our favor, and therefore not an easy comfortable sail. We had to motor most of the way.
0930 dingyed into register with customs and immigration, stopped to get online to drop a quick note, now outbound for the next island.
