  > Fri Apr 1st 2022 - Arrived at uninhabited Great Sale Cay after a daytime passage of 8 hrs. We transited the Indian Rock Pass just north of West End, raised our sails in 18 knots of wind, and had a glorious sail to our destination, no motoring! Water was the beautiful turquoise the Bahamas is known for. Anchored near the cay with a few other boats. Spent 2 wet nights there with harrowing thunderstorms/lightning strikes all around us, freaking hate that! And man, does it rain in buckets. Rob was running around putting our iPads, phones and modems in the microwave and oven, apparently believing they were some sort of faraday cage. On our first morning one of the vessels approached us to enquire if we  were headed back to the US; they had been the victim of a lightning strike resulting in all their electronics being fried and were probably looking for someone to follow back home.  😳  Maybe Rob was right? We had the tallest mast of all the boats there, so guessing we were lucky.  &g
