En Route to Galliot
Cay
   Absolutely no idea Bear was taking these pictures of me so deep is the concentration of missing the 'HARD"
stuff in very shallow waters, eyes going like pistons
  Wiggling through the reef, into the channel and
heading out to sea
 Through the coral
heads took about an hour and a half then into the 'main
channel' still behind the main reef Georgetown in the
distance.
Not our kind of
place, many, many boats mostly from America who get this far and spend a lot of
time here community living. A a full net on channel 68 in the mornings;
weather, organising keep fit, volleyball, yoga BBQ's etc. but nice if you like
that kind of team living.
   We went past a few houses on our left, and a girl still proud and
upright
 We left this
morning at eight thirty and here we finally we see the last
marker and it's out to open sea and the
deeps at nearly two o'clock. Main sail up
and off we went
 Two
hours in deep water and this beauty
   I get the honours
with the cheesy grin, normally they lose colour in
death, this one was still gleaming blues, greens and gold.
Three main meals freshly
caught
  Back into the shallows through Galliot
cut. The bell 'thingy' on the map held a nest
as well
 As we entered the tide was fighting with the shallow water making
for a strange 'washing machine effect' - soon over
and at anchor tucked in the bay. Anchor down at half past five, after forty four
miles.
 We went for a snorkel to check the anchor, the
water was freezing, nothing below but a little sand. A few games, supper
and bed. Tomorrow crossing the Exuma Bank
ALL IN ALL A GOOD
DAY
