After the last entry, we walked up the hill to have a rum runner and prepare for the hike back to our harbor. Well on our walk up the hill, a very nice local stopped and offered us a ride saying how hot it was and we deserved a ride. His name was Lawrence and he was born and raised on Great Harbor Cay. We went snorkeling near our anchorage and had a great time. Roxy has a ball at every beach running and swimming. We caught two conch and had conch ceviche for our dinner. Darrell’s new name is “Conch Slayer” and ask him how easy it is to remove the conch from the shell.
We started a little late this morning to leave the anchorage and sailed about 10 nautical miles to Devil’s-Hoffman anchorage. It is beautiful here and a definite one that we want to return to. Pictures show a Blue Hole on Hoffman Cay and some beautiful sunset shots of our boat at anchor. We really like the Berry Islands and could just stay here for the entire Bahamas visit.
We are sitting here now listening to the Nascar race and planning the day’s route for tomorrow. We NEED to be in cell phone coverage to call our Moms tomorrow. Plan is to head south to Frazer’s Hog Cay or somewhere near Chub Cay. When the cold front moves through, we hope to get some good winds to cross over to New Providence Island - where Nassau is. We plan to get some provisions, do some laundry and head south to the Exhumas after that.
