Life is GOOD!

WE have been unable to have internet connections for a week. But our week has been great. Except we still haven't gotten the sail fixed. New friends on Jalapeno, a young couple and her brother on a 36 ft. PDQ tried to help sew it with their sailrite machine and it kept breaking the thread. We will need to try in Georgetown. Meanwhile we left The Land and Sea Park and motored to Staniel Cay to hook up with the guy who might be able to fix the sail. spent the night in the marina and got some diesel and water then went around the corner and anchored off of Big Major Cay. Now this was cool because one of my major wants was to see the swimming pigs and Thunderball Cave and this is where both are. Met some great folks that were staying in the cottages at Staniel and enjoyed hanging out with Brett and June. We also met back up with cruisers that we had first met at Warderick, Double Eagle and Jalapeno.

The water was Crystal clear and the weather was wonderful our entire stay. We had a wonderful time. We have begun to enjoy our cruise and have almost forgotten the challenges to get here. Almost. We still have a sail to get mended and a passage through the sound to Georgetown to navigate.

We weighed anchor on Wednesday the 20th (our 42nd wedding anniversary) and headed the 15 miles to Black Point to pick up some internet and get closer to Georgetown. Soon after we got the the supply boat came in (a very big deal!) and everyone was at the dock picking up their supplies. The power also went out and so no internet. This morning we came back over to the island and finally an updated blog post! We had taken some bibles and pens to Ms. Lurraine for their church and will check and see if she got them in the confusion yesterday. We will then head another 15 miles to Little Farmers Cay to get ready to head to Georgetown tomorrow.
