We weighed anchor and headed for Little Farmers Cay, but we had to make a stop at Leaf Cay to show Karl and Nancy the iguanas. This aggressive iguana had Karl backing up on the beach.

Following another boat towing C-Class racing boat "Touch Me Not" across an unmarked route on the shallow banks, we had a beautiful sail to Little Farmers Cay. That makes two nice sailing days in a row.

Friends Karl and Nancy came down to George Town to join us for a week in the sunny Bahamas. Wind wasn't good for heading to Long Island, so we headed back up north to Lee Stocking Cay and did some beachcombing where we found some newly cracked conch shells. That was a little strange because there is a no catch zone around Lee Stocking because of the Marine Institute. They were pretty anyway and may make a nice conch horns.

With four people on the boat now, we have to make a couple of shuttle trips in our small dinghy to get everyone ashore. We have a serious case of dinghy envy when we see other inflatables with four people, groceries, and a dog zipping across the water on plane.

On happier subjects, George Town is the mecca for cruisers escaping winter - they call it adult daycare here. We decided to be brave and took the dinghy across the harbor to do some socializing. We had beers with Mike and Polli on Chinook (friends from the Northern Neck), and then went to a gathering of Chesapeake cruisers on the volleyball beach with $8 rum drinks from the beach bar. It was a fun ride back across the harbor on a black night trying to figure out where our boat was located.
