Just another beautiful day

Since we've been here in the Bahamas we have had a lot of wind, rather cool temperatures with little rain. But we have had some very beautiful days and today was just another one.

We got to the Bahamas just over 3 weeks ago and have had some great sails and some nice sojourns in some very beautiful anchorages. We have worked our way to about the end of the inside passage before jumping out into the Exuma Sound for our trip to George Town. In the Exumas most of the action is on the western side where there is shelter from the east winds. The only issue arises when the wind comes from the west. So far the west winds haven't been strong so all has been good.




Tonight we are anchored just of Little Farmer's Cay where we had a great dinner at Ty's Sunset Bar and Beach Grill. We are able to get their wifi with our booster so we can do email and post blogs. With our booster we have usually been able to have connectivity. The only place we haven't been able to get connected was in the Park and that's because there was nothing there. We haven't quite figured out how to get a Sim card in our Wirie to get the benefit of long-range cell phone connection. We tried to install it in Nassau without success.




Tomorrow we're moving on to Rudder Cut Cay where we've heard there is great snorkeling. So after a night out there we cross out to the Sound and head to George Town for several weeks. We have a slip reserved at Emerald Bay Marina where we have to leave the boat for about a week while we travel back to PA to visit my sister and her husband who has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is expected to live only a few months more.




So we get in to the marina and work on the boat for a few days and get all of our affairs in order to leave and then for the first time in more than 6 months we will be away from the boat.    

But, tomorrow will be another beautiful day.
