Jan 8-10

Sorry I've missed posting for a few days. We have moved around into the "swamp" where we cannot pick up the internet.

We were on a mooring ball in Green turtle Cay for two days, but at $20/day it was going to be too expensive, so we moved into the shallow pond where only cats can fit. I love being on a cat!! We are anchored and settled here for another couple of day. We have seen winds on the anemometer up to 25 but nothing more than that. Of course when the wind generator ramps up we g out ad look but by that time the gusts have passed so we may have missed 30 or so, but nothing terribly scary. The seas however... we went for a walk with Andy and Diane from Windreka [Lady's Island 2 years ago...they're from Minnesota and familiar with Lake Superior] over to the Atlantic shore! Wow! The waves were enormous...not going out there any time soon!

Yesterday after we moved into the "swamp" we took the dinghy over to the other end of the island to Black Sound [we're in White Sound] to find "Old Rosie". We heard her coming in the day before but the weather was rough and we didn't want to interrupt their anchoring. "Old Rosie" is a motor sailor with Ben and Jane from Owen Sound!!! We had a good visit. Turns out they were anchored near us in Lake Worth and left the day after we did. They came in behind the big squall that hit us.

We were going to get our phone yesterday from Marsh Harbour but the winds were still up too high to get over there. Today is a "holiday" here [ Majority Rule Day]so it won't happen today. If I can get the laundry done [and use the internet over there while I'm waiting] we will head over there tomorrow and visit with Modaki and Beguiler before we move on down the islands. Got get going!

I would post pictures but this internet access is so unpredictable that it will kill my post if I mess with it, so sorry no pics right now.
