Thursday March 15, 2018 - Spanish Wells to Egg Island via Royal Island

We left our mooring at around 9am and dropped off our $25 fee with Jarrad who was on the dock of Ronald's Service Center.  We motored out of the harbour and then sailed downwind the 5 miles to the entrance of Royal Island.   I had planned on staying here for a day or two but the weather was good for crossing to the Abacos so we spent only 3 or 4 hours there.  This was Robert's first opportunity to snorkel so we dinghied ashore for a swim near and old dock.  At about 4pm, we left and motor sailed for the West side of Egg Island.  It was a good anchorage but it was a little bouncy from the waves wrapping around the reef to the north.
