Leaving George Town, Great Exuma we overtook Down Island, an Island Packet and got a good photo of it under sail.

Our buddy boat Midori under sail.

We stopped at Lee Stocking Island and climbed Perry's Peak, the highest point in the Exumas Island Chain.

Running downwind under the Genoa alone.

There was a lot of nice scenery traveling up the inside route despite several shallow areas that required extra care. This is near the Cave Cay Cut.

We celebrated my March 17 birthday with a great happy hour.

Why is George diving with a toilet plunger? Our marine head is clogged and he hoped to clear it from the outlet below the water line. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but no luck.

Toby waits patiently for his dinghy to return at Sampson Cay.

A lot to see from our dock at Nassau Yacht Haven. Check the sign at the fish sellers table. Draw your own conclusions.

Bahamian sloops ready to load on a freighter to travel to the Family Island Regatta in George Town.

We had a conch out lunch at Twin Brothers shack on Potters Cay. Not as upscale as their Fish Fry restaurant but the food was great.

Making the conch salad

Conch salad and fritters. We also had Cracked Conch but didn't get a photo.

The only non-conch dish was the great Bahama style mac and cheese. Yum.

The Rasta chef turns out delicious food. What a lunch. We were stuffed.

Lynn shopping for vegetables at Potters Cay. She loves open markets.

This many Scotch Bonnet peppers (habaneros) would be about a year's supply for us. These things will make you sit up and holler momma!

It's embarrassing but we are running low on wine in Nassau and need to reload.

Lynn likes for me to accompany her shopping, not because she values my opinion but so that I can haul the stuff.

In case you think the picture above is the exception, her I am on shore sherpa duty a couple of days later.

Leaving Nassau to the northwest, Atlantis resort still looms large.

Black fin tuna caught underway as we neared Southwest Reef waypoint between Nassau and Royal Island.

Our chart plotter shows what a well protected anchorage Royal Island is.

These little birds have been perched on our life lines since we "docked" in the parking lot of Bed Bath & Beyond

Returning from snorkeling Sandy Cay reef. This may seem very similar to a post from an earlier cruise but, trust me, it's new.

Sunspot Baby on a mooring in Hope Town

The light house is one of the very few kerosene powered lights left and was damaged in Hurricane Irene.

A snack at Capn Jacks. Conch fritters and a mango daiquiri.

Living large at Treasure Cay. Sunspot Baby is docked by the pool and bar.

Treasure Cay beach as seen from the beach bar. Where else would you go to see the beach?

Not all beaches and bikinis we had some hard rain while at Treasure Cay. Looking up though one of our hatches the mast and rigging are almost obscured.

Cruising can be taxing. George buckled down while at Treasure Cay and finished our returns, one federal, two states but they are now done and e-filed. Hooray!

Whale Cay Cut looks mild and boring. That's the time to pass. This can be a treacherous inlet.

After passing through the Whale we could see the back side of Treasure Cay to port.

A little farther and the village of New Plymouth is off to starboard.

Docked at the Bluff House waiting for a window to go farther. While here we will cash in on the docking for dollars program. Each day you get a bar/restaurant credit for the amount you spend on dickage.

Not a good time to go yet with these waterspouts just to the north.

Fortunately, the bar/restaurant is just at the end of the dock.

I now primarily drink wine but I did take advantage of the cold Heineken on tap a couple of times.

Finally it's time to go. We staged up at Crab Cay anchorage at the north end of Great Abaco.

Lynn is ready to start her 1900 to 2200 (7 pm to 10 pm) watch.

She snapped this photo of our last Bahamian sunset this year.
