It's been a while since we added a post, we've been cruising the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas, and not all locations have easy internet access. Next time:) we'll get a better systmes for more current posts!

At many of the islands you go shopping when the Mail Boat arrives and brings th fresh goods for market. In Staniel one of the markets (think basement of a house) has a dock in front and you can dinghy up to buy your supplies. Mind you the wind is 20 knots on the nose when driving over from Big Majors anchorage and you get soaking wet. But hey, that's part of the fun, right?

The weather has been unusually squally, the trade winds have been boosted up into the Bahamas and we've had incredible rain storms. They are a benefit in some ways as you can hang the laundry on the side decks, the get washed, rinsed, and blown dry! And all the salt is washed away as well.

Soon we'll be heading back to Florida, but we'll wait for a southerly wind so we can sail instead of bucking head winds which has been the case several times so far.

Well, back to our reality...:)
