On leaving Cuba we sailed north to the Bahamas and on one of the legs we had a visitor, a very small bird who needed a rest! Look for him and he is peched on the winch near the red rope.

We sailed into the beautiful clear waters of the Bahamas again and were immediately struck by its beauty which we never seem to tire of!

we came upon a blue hole in the middle of the ocean so we tried to anchor over it to see if any fish were down there and John got his fishing rod ready. The dark blue you see is the blue hole.
