Now let's see. How far to ???
Yes, it has been over a month since the last entry, so obviously we have been having a great time and not looking too hard for internet connections. The Bahamas have very few free connections, since most of the boats there seem to go for the entire winter so they subscribe to monthly wifi service. We kind of enjoyed the break from constant connections.
After a week in the well-known cruiser destination of Georgetown, where winter cruisers organize activities almost everyday, culminating in a 2 week regatta at the end of the season, we moved on to Cat Island and then overnight up to the Abacos. We skipped this group on our way down in 1999, so we wanted to visit. The area is beautiful for sure, but with our draft--which is only 5 1/2 feet-- we had to be very careful and watch the bottom and the tides all the time. Average depth seems to be less than our keel, so we managed to hit bottom twice in our 2 weeks there. Oh well, at least there are no more barnacles on the bottom of the keel.
