Black Point
Great Guana Cay
Exumas, Bahamas
It was another nice day, warm, breezy, sunny. Windbird showed up early afternoon. We are still having problems receiving VHF transmissions. We can send out but not get sound back on the radio. Still can not get emails to go to Handleys either.
Looks like we will be leaving here maybe Thurs and starting the trek north to eventually head back across the Gulf Stream. Mark's target for West Palm Beach FL is April 8 for a treatment on the 9th. Then on to Little River.
A flock of what I think are sea gulls flew over us. I had seen them frequently. Black heads with black tip in lowest wing feathers, otherwise white. As they flew over the water & our boats at about 4:30 it looked for all the world like their bellies and underwings were a beautiful blue green. When we saw them again on land they were the same black & white gulls we have been seeing. It had to be some combination of reflection of the water off their wings and the angle of the sun at that hour. What ever it was a beautiful sight.
We all went to Lorraine's for dinner tonight. We had the biggest hamburgers. I had gotten onion rings there a while back and they were crispy and wonderful. Seems they make them 2 ways. What we had tonight were the typical kind. Not as good as what I had the other day. Too bad.
We are having some rocking again tonight. West wind again. We go as the wind dictates. Weather is everything on a cruise. Hope the weather guru Chris Parker tells us what we need to make a speedy trip home. He is our 6:30 am wake up call.
