April 7th, 2010 Sampson Cay to Big Majors Spot, Exumas
After a big breakfast, coffee and the proper amount of wasted time, we weighed anchor and sailed back south to Big Majors. There was going to be a beach party there tonight and we needed to have Dave and Debbie get the feel of one.
In the afternoon I replaced the zinc on our propshaft and Davey and I worked quite a while cleaning our hull. We got the starboard side mostly finished and a good start on the port. There was nothing hard, the bottom paint is effective on barnacles, but there were some patches of soft growth the needed to be removed. We use scrub pads made for cleaning grills which take things off with out being too abrasive on the sloughing paint.
In the mid afternoon, I baked some potatoes and pork chops which we had for an early dinner, knowing that if we ate at the party it would be lots of junk.
The party was interesting. The majority of the folks were owners of very large power boats which seem to have taken over this anchorage these days. They were nice enough and brought along very good food, but we didn't know very many of them.
After an hour or so we excused ourselves and returned to "Sapphire" for a couple of games of Rummikub and then some euchre.
