Northern Exumas and Eleuthera

Trying to get some lunch
Dinghying is a coveted responsibility by both boys
Summer is here with plenty of thunderstorms


Visits of the Cape Eleuthera Institute (http://www.ceibahamas.org) and the Island School (http://www.islandschool.org) which partner together.  Well worth having a look.

Dinner with Lisa and Tony from s/v Inspiration in Rock Sound, Eleuthera.


Yellowtail snapper
Super NARROW  passage to and from Hatchet Bay (Alice Town)...

Glass Bottom
Sailing in the Exumas and Eleuthera is about navigating narrow cuts whose crossings have to be timed with fair seas, tides (preferably high) and current (ebb and flow and preferably slack).
Strong current at a appropriately named Current Cut
Some more fish: a nice 4.25 lb yellow jack - cooked in a coconut curry cream... yum
