The seas were kind of rough and the dinghy was not behaving well so I added another tether which fixed the problem.

Lunch for three at St. Francis

All for now...it is 1/30/2013 and the internet is slow so it took me a few days to get this published. Have a great Feburary.

Feeding the stingrays off the beach.

There is a conch shed on the beach where they make conch salad The parts they can't use they give to the tourists to feed to the rays. Very cool.

Exuma Yacht Club

Exuma Yacht Club in Georgetown, Exuma - here we stay till after the cruisers regatta.

Mark caught a tuna! Since it was small I said to throw it back and let it grow - later Mark said the darn thing weighted 5 or 6 pounds - dart, never again…I have not heard the end of that one! Mark thinks it might have been a Skipjack Tuna.

Clear water rocks…

The water is so clear and still that we can see our anchor chain looped over itself.

We beat friend John out of the anchorage

The next morning we surprised our early-bird friend John and left the anchorage before him…so got a picture of him passing us.

Some places still have phone booths

Black Point Settlement

We stopped at Black Point Settlement but alas no photos. Then continued to Farmer Cay Cut. We went to Lorraine's for lunch and asked if she remembered our friends Charlie and Chris Pope and ex-cruiser (now a CLOD - Cruiser Living on Dirt). She did indeed, fortunately we asked AFTER she served our lunch :
