Walter and I were thrilled to spend a week aboard Quantum Joy! Al and Jan hosted us with a combination of resort quality amenities and rugged outback adventure. Starting out at Nassau we stayed overnight at Rose Island. At Allan's Cay we got to see some 20 pound iguanas whom Al assured us were herbivores. The following day we had an easy sail south to Highboune Cay where we saw some nurse sharks feeding and then promptly jumped in the water just around the point to snorkel with the fishes.

Each meal on board QJ was a delight from blueberry pancakes for breakfast to homemade seafood chowder for lunch (made in a swinging galley under full sail in deep and high seas) to exquisite BBQ roast for dinner. Libations were plentiful and varied including local beer, rum and mixers. After Highbourne we sailed 30 nautical miles across the deep blue sea reaching depths of 5,000 feet and heights of 7 (during which the aforementioned chowder was crafted). As a 'working' holiday we shared ship maintenance and sailing tasks with our skilled hosts. Now on a run up the west side of Eleuthra Island, we shall soon disembark our adventure as better sailors and better (and somewhat heavier) people! Thank you Al and Jan for a quantum of joy. - David
