We weighed anchor and left our snug spot behind Big Major (pig island) and headed for Black Point a short 3-4 hr trip and little closer to where we would cross over to the Exuma Sound and Geogetown where we will meet up with Tripp and Dana for a week. We pulled up and dropped anchor in the bay a short distance from the SV Jalapeno that we first met in Warderick.  We dropped anchor and took the dingy into town anxious to tap into the free internet that we had read about in our cruising guides.
Tara and Preston on Jalapeno had just spent an hour on the net but the power just went out and we were unable to connect. A supply boat had just came in ( a HUGE deal in these places) and the entire town was on the dock getting supplies. We spent the night celebrated our Anniversary. And Tara tried to use her Sailrite sewing machine to fix our jib but it would not go through the material without  breaking the thread. That was a huge deal for us because that machine weighs over 50 lbs and they were kind enough to bring it over to Stray Cat and give it a try. We went into town the next day and picked up a few things. Checked with Luraine to make sure that she received the bibles, hats and pens we had put in her truck for the church and finally hooked up with the internet!
A kind gentleman gave us 2 needles to use to try to fix our jib giving us three to hopefully not break to hand sew the repair. We then left to go to Little Farmers and stage for an early exit through the cut and motor to Georgetown.
Our 42 anniversary dinner. Hamburgers and chocolate chip cookies.

SV Jalapeno , Tara and Preston and her brother Dan.
Great People! They are headed around the world!

Leaving Black Point for Little Farmers.
