Sorry for the delay but we have been away from internet!

Internet service is much better than ever in the Bahamas but having bandwidth big enough to download pictures continues to be a challenge.  Right now we are in Georgetown doing laundry and are able to visit J&K to use their router.  With that we will do a bunch of pictures for everyone…..


From Warderick Wells we continued down the Exuma chain and have been able to visit many new anchorages.  They have all be beautiful so we'll start with Pipe Cay, real close to Compass Cay marina where we all had sharks (nurse only) right at the tip of our hands!  While there I have finally broke my bad luck and picked up two lion fish and a lobster!  Yep, right between the eyes as Randy told me to do!  Anne found a huge conch and we are working away at making that our big horn.

I mangled this lion fish

Nice shark!

dinner!

Next….some views of Little Farmers Cay…….real nice place to watch to Super Bowl and we will go back!

One must cross the runway to get to town

This is the jeep by Ty's Sunset Grill

Yep, chain doesn't float!

















Next up is Rudder Cut Cay…..A nice anchorage and the water was crystal clear.  How about the man playing with the mermaid?  Yep, Vinny is keeping abreast of the situation!  Reportedly David Copperfield paid to have the piece of art placed in 15 feet of water.

Who said mermaids don't exist!?

Another date for Vinny!













































Cruze is now fully bloomed and has six flowers this year!



The next stop is Barraterre.  It is located at the far north end of Great Exuma and is a very remote but  a super friendly settlement.  Again, we will be going back to that anchorage.  Just lovely!  Germain (from Big D's last year happened to see us and took Vinny, Ralph and I down to the local beer store and also stopped by Rev. Williams farm.  We have the freshest, most tasty veggies we have had is a long time.  No refrigeration needed!
Better than Wegmans…..all fresh for $10 bucks!

the main drag in town



































After picking up Jim and Joanne we went back to Lee Stocking Island and did some fishing and swimming.  M/V Scooter dropped off a nice Mahi for us (they had two other huge ones, 54+ inches long) so we made sushi, fried mahi and mahi ceviche.  A real feast was had by all!

We really like our underwater camera….Teagan's ray!


A Doctor at rest!

Dick's first sushi rolls

From there we eventually made it down to Georgetwon in order to be here for Jim & Jo's departure.  We still had a good time, there weather was perfect and we still had the time to go to Chat & Chill for a rum punch.

We hope you enjoy the photos…….I know it took a long time but we will keep trying to get better.
