The last post, we were on our way to pick up the new motor at Davis Harbor. That all went smoothly. Trevor had left to get it when we arrived and he returned by noon, It started on the second pull and we were off. Crossed the Exuma sound on a continuing flat day and arrived at an anchorage on the Exuma side with an hour to spare before dark. The wind kicked up big time the past couple of days so we holed up first at the Black Point Settlement, then at a protected bay called Hetties Land. Got out to explore Black Point, a small Bahamian village like Winton, had an early lunch of Mahi fingers, returned to the boat and moved to Hetties Land where we were much more alone. We hiked the beach yesterday across to the ocean side to look at the waves. Pretty angry sea, with 25 knot winds from the east and glad we are on the lee side of the island. Today we are moving south a bit to near Rudder CAy inlet. We went there last year and the coral was good for snorkelling. Will probably stay there until Sunday morning when if the weather and wind reports are accurate, will start to head north on the outside towards the northern Exumas and eventually the Abacos for a week or two before crossing back to Florida ~ May 1 or so.
