Tom’s Rocks to Alabaster Bay
This little sail was only about four miles, but again, with light winds and a calm sea, it was a very enjoyable time and we once more thought it went by too quickly. The Bay have a large beach with sand banks going far into the ocean. Thank goodness for depth sounders because on high…
