Well the decision was made to make it to the Farmers Cay First Friday in February Festival, or the 5 Fs party. So we pulled the anchor and headed out of "Pipe Creek". I had laid out a route for us to exit with, but Xanadu left first so I decided to just follow them out. Wellllllll again I followed someone right up on a rock bar! It did a bit of damage to the rudder but nothing serious. We finally go out the way I had planned and had a great sail down to "Little Farmers Cay". The winds were 15-20 but about 50 degrees off the nose so it was a great ride down.

Well we have made it back to our favorite marina, Emerald Bay. The festivities were fun at Farmers Cay, and we enjoyed the races to the max. Some how unknowingly I anchored on the finish line, so needless to say we had good seats. We wondered around Little Farmers Cay, ate some of the local food offerings, and basically just enjoyed a couple of days hagnin out.
On Saturday we made the run out around the Pimlicos and into Lee Stocking Research center for the night. We are still traveling with "Xanadu" and have had a blast. Jim said I make him a bit nervous with some of the places I go. I guess I am a bit more daring with depth than he is!
Luckily they gave us some fuel and food as we were running a bit short on both!!! Jim and Dorrel are an absolute hoot!!!
We then went down to Rat Cay and dingied over to Boysie Cay, and watched the "blow holes " scare Diane, as we did not tell her about them. And yes it did scare the poo out of her!
Then this morning we went inside down to "Glass Cay" then outside and down to Emerald Bay Marina.
So here we are till Wednesday at least!!!!!
