A squall comes through this morning and the wind has shifted to the SSE and increased to 15-20. Sharon asks us over for lunch and Chet and I decide we should move behind Prime as it will have better protection.
It is a beautiful spot, with good holding and gorgeous water. We settle in for the evening and a quiet dinner alone.

The plan today is to do some snorkeling and exploring, the up to Little Farmers Cay. Again we need a bit of help to get out of this anchorage, so a lunchish departure is planned
The snorkeling is good, a lot of fish and coral life. I snorkel through a cut with 35 ft of water. I see a group of eagle rays swim under me and the usual large Barracuda. Then Chet and I go dingy exploring. We find that there is a nice lake in the interior of the cay. I scare off a few small sharks in the shallows and one large nurse shark.
"We kick the tires and light the fires", and head out for Little Farmers Cay. The wind has lain down so it is a motor sail through a "new to us" route out of Prime. No paint lost and we see another sand shark on the way.
It only takes 3.5 hours to get to Farmers. I anchor in about 6 ft of water and call for dinner reservations and the day is done.
