Exumas, Bahamas


Today a nasty weather report send us north looking for somewhere to hide. We are at Emerald Rocks in the Exumas Land & Sea Park near Warderwick Wells Cay. We imagine we will be here til at least Sunday. Because winds of as much as 40knts are predicted Friday we took a mooring ball. Windbird is here too.

We started our morning with the Parker weather show on SSB radio. Then we talked to Handleys and went into shore at the laundry. Lee & I got a piece of carrot cake and Lee & the woman who runs the laundry and makes the cakes sang happy birthday to me. My birthday isn't til tomorrow but we knew there would be no cake then. I am as old as I feel and that is old!

It was another sunny warm day, water & air temp both 80. But this evening is a nice cool breeze. Lee has back pain from lifting a big propane tank today. That happens once and a while and can take 3 or 4 months to go away. With the new place coming as soon as we get back to SC this is not a good time for back problems. Hoping this goes away in a few days not months.

We sailed and motor sailed about 4 hrs today with moderate winds but they were behind us most of the time and without a spinnaker we did not make much headway. Getting better at sailing but have not had many days with good wind direction and speed.
