Hello everyone, good to hear from all of you.
We were finally able to depart on Monday, January 18 after several unexpected delays. Things are going well, and we are now at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, mid-way south in the Exumas. From here we'll continue on to George Town and then through the southern most out islands before going on to the Turks and Caicos.
The high point of our cruise so far was catching a really large MahiMahi (dolphin the fish as opposed to a Bottle Nosed Dolphin). It measured out at 57 inches and weighed somewhere around 40 or 50 pounds. We filleted him immediately and had fresh cooked MahiMahi for dinner. Delicious. Next night in Nassau we shared the left overs with 7 of our dock neighbors at an impromptu pot luck dinner.
We docked at the Nassau Harbour Club and the boat next to us was an absolutely gorgeous 53 ft sloop which had been totally hand built by the owners. It was hell for stout with a welded steel hull which looked totally professional in appearance. The bottom line was 10 years of construction and a great deal of expense. No pictures unfortunately but the owners, Wade and Diane, have a very nice blog site:
