Want to express gratitude to Zuma's Restaurant and Bar on Highborne Cay for saving us a whopping amount of money. Sent an email earlier to reserve, but due an unforeseen closure today any inheritance our progeny might have received had we produced any was not squandered on what was reviewed as superb, but extravagantly expensive cuisine. Could be accommodated tomorrow, but thoughts of destituting our lazy, unappreciative, non-existent spawn plus desire to keep moving south extinguished that possibility. Besides being frugal we also have rather plebeian requirements. Jan likes a beautiful presentation as well as the next fine chef, but but good taste at sufficient volume with cheap alcohol takes precedence. Two episodes of Jack Ryan on Prime Video was a bonus.
Thursday
With predicted energetic north wind beginning this afternoon decided prudently to spend the evening at protected Warderick Wells, headquarters of Exuma Cays Land & Seas Park. Only mooring open was far side of J-shaped channel when we arrived at low tide. Chart indicates depth less than our draft at south end, but with assurances from park ranger and compulsive willingness to do stupid (that would be me), got around with plenty of water. Having no visual over bow as we approach moorings Jan always locates us perfectly for pickup with guidance through headsets. Easy peasy.
Listening to good music (defined as almost anything but hip hop and Stravinski) has been somewhat absent from the homestead since voltage spike took out numerous electronic devices. Finally wired new stereo then dedicated ancient iPhone 5s to use Spotify on bluetooth with Starlink to get down and get funky... OK, we never get down and seldom get funky - prefer up and mellow. Whatever, we again have technology to enjoy the dulcet tones of Buffett, Knopfler, Stone, Quinn, Dashew, etc. By the way, if you can find it, Music For Cruising by Sarah Dashew is excellent.
