Thanks to the guests, Tom and Mary, who arrived in George Town, Great Exuma Island, with a new charger for the skipper’s laptop, we can at last put some photographs on the blog, so this is a photograph update.   Probably not of interest to anyone but family and friends, you have been warned!

 

Doing the utterly tourist “thing” of swimming with dolphins at Ocean World.  We loved it!!

 

 

The Skipper’s wife hugging a dolphin and.....

 

 

The Skipper getting a dolphin kiss.

 

Sadly, the one of the Skipper’s wife being propelled forwards and upwards by the two dolphins and standing upright while speeding through the water did not get transferred to the disc at Ocean World. 

 

Arriving off the coast of Cuba at dawn after sailing north while waiting for the dawn, the welcome sight of the lighthouse off the entrance to Puerto de Vita.

 

 

 

Quite an impressive lighthouse, but it had no light.

 

 

Then the bliss of quiet waters as we felt our way up the completely protected channel up to the marina at Puerto de Vita

 

 

Yacht Teasa, from Brazil, with Daniel and Angela, in the anchorage, Puerto de Vita and..........

 

 

....the marina at Puerto de Vita.

 

 

The Marina office at Puerto de Vita.

 

 

Bullock cart and mare with foal on the village green, Puerto de Vita.

 

 

Cattle ranch, middle of nowhere, between Puerto de Vita and a beech, Angela, Daniel and Skipper’s wife walked to.

 

 

Daniel trying to find a way across an inlet to the beach beyond.

 

 

The skipper’s wife crossing the inlet to the beach beyond and...

 

 

Angela wading across the inlet, very shallow water at this point!!

 

Have to stop now for showers and 6 o’clockses as it is now 6.45 and we have a birthday celebration on board.  More of Cuba to follow when time allows!
