Spanish Cay to West End

Our crossing to the anchorage at Great Sale Cay while a bit windy was not bad.  We arrived early in the afternoon, launched the dinghy to check the set of the anchor and went to explore our last Bahamian beach.  We found lots of choral and small shells.  We also found the ruins of a large building with supports for multiple oil tanks.  Not sure what it was, also it was odd that there was no remains of any walls or roof, just cement with some asbestos tile on it.  On our way back we went to look at a boat we had seen in Little Harbor a week ago.  It is a wood  replica of a 1920's design that is only 6 months old.  We had nice chat with the builder, Ted who convinced Mary we need to come back to the Bahamas and explore the Exhumas,  John was already convinced.  All we have to do is figure out how to get Passport back here without a six month cruise.

We didn't have any problems with the anchor overnight but Brown Eyed Girl did and were gone when we got up.  We had flat water all the way to West End.  Saw another large sea turtle, but he was camera shy.  The lobster man came around and we all bought lobsters and had another feast aboard Something Special.  This time John was able to get 6 for $20 and two beers.   The lobster tails were still moving as we prepared them for grilling, quite spooky.

The price includes cleaning

We have had a good time here in the Bahamas and are sorry to be leaving.  But it's time to continue on with our journey and working our way back to Michigan.  We will be crossing back over to the states this morning.  It will be nice to have our own cell phones and wifi again.

We will blog again soon.  Love to all,

Mary and John
