Further South

We set out this morning for Little Farmer's Cay. By noon we had anchored off Black Point, having escaped building wind and waves. Nothing unsafe, but we try not to be on the water unless it's going to be enjoyable for all. Our aim after all is to have fun.
While at Black Point we were able to take our garbage to shore, pick up some water, and I checked to see if the grocery had anything interesting. Overall, it was a successful stop.
By 3, it appeared that the wind had subsided, so we put the dinghy back on the deck and set out again.
Now we are anchored at Jack's Bay, about halfway between Black Point and Farmer's. We had a great dinner, played some euchre - the girls are getting very good, almost beat us tonight - and are headed to bed shortly.

Tomorrow we plan to go 'outside'.
In order to get to George Town, we need to leave the protection of the Bahamas Bank, and travel on the east side of the Exumas, out in the Sound. We will go through the cut from bank to sound at slack water, to avoid the strong currents that flow through as the tide changes.

Our hope is to get to Lee Stocking Island, but will check the forecast before we go. From there, we will take advantage of this weather window and continue further south on Thursday.
