some very big cakes
this guy's excited about pigs rats and
yogini
Oh maaan
hello mr. pig second pack of the day you
don't bite me
oh he's a big boy couple of big old
piggies you guys Wow we're in Staniel
key it's been a good time so far yeah we
anchored between the two majors we got
the big major and the little major and
it has good east and west protection we
were expecting a lot of heavy winds out
of the West when we first got here I
mean we found this to be a pretty good
Anchorage so about three days I think
we'll leave in the morning we got to see
some pigs on big major and they are big
pigs yeah big pigs we Cupid we just
cruised into the beach on her dinghy and
bow to pigs came right up to us yeah a
couple of pigs yeah we only just dig it
into about knee-deep water and just kind
of held the boat there he's worried
about Zeus yeah it's fun
another thing we did today was we
checked out thunder Belgrano you have to
put on your flippers and snorkel rain in
there but I guess that's where they shot
the cool James Bond movie back in the
60s everything so we check that out and
it's pretty cool cave it was fun we went
into town to drop off some garbage and
it was a great walk for Zeus he had to
do it twice though it's a small town
everything's color-coded and you can
tell what stores what by the color it is
[Music]
the next day we sailed for Georgetown
and Zuma's as soon as we left we had
extremely light winds but we were
prepared for that
there were squalls on the horizon and we
watched for them closely because in
light wind conditions the squall can
mean more wind and Moreland was better
than no wind so we were happy when the
squalls hit us squalls in those
conditions means sailing 5 knots as
opposed to 3 knots when you have a 12
knot wind hitting you but if that squall
were to hit us on a windier day it could
be dangerous and usually we would be
reefing in during a squall sailing from
Staniel key to Georgetown took
approximately a day and a night we had
the fishing line note we were hoping for
wahoo or mahi but unfortunately no luck
we arrived in Georgetown with a high
tide and ready to enter the harbor but
we had to wait for the Sun to come up so
we reduced speed and just kind of hung
around outside the harbor and then went
in at the right time just in time to
catch the cruisers net in the morning
which is broadcast at each day at 8 a.m.
on channel 6
8
on this lovely long stretch of beach
giving
campus stretches leg
24 hours
[Music]
oh my god
not even close B not even close
[Music]
I had purchased some lifeline netting
for Zeus way back but we just haven't
had the downtime in order to install it
but finally Dan has had the opportunity
to do so and we're really happy with the
results
[Music]
now we're in Georgetown Bahamas now just
did a little bit of shopping in town
here picked up a few groceries and
things we needed and we had conch
fritters for the first time and they
were delicious it's pretty sweet
it's like I guess kind of central to the
Exuma lots of opportunities to resupply
here the groceries are affordable you
can pretty much get everything you need
here before you go
