Hi,
Here is a bit of a Photo Catchup as we have a good connection at the moment.

| I decided to get my wind steering to work a bit better. |
It is now steering Great. It earned its keep and was then named "Fredrik Henry"
 |
| An extra tab attached to the trim tab. Glue and rivets. |
 |
| See always Happy when fixing |
From time to time I have to remove it to re grease the bushings, or it refuses to steer. Actually quite a quick operation. Remove the lines connected to the trim tab, pull out the bolt and drop the rudder, (which Floats) clean, grease, insert. Really worth the effort. When working it steers +5 deg - 5deg. Better than I can do.
Especially when I take a break to go and make Tea or Cup cakes
 |
| Add caption....Not needed |
But the sunsets were like this every day. Truly magnificent!
 |
| Supper. Caught on the way to Exumas. |
I did not manage to get many fish. Some Bonito and Jacks, but Real fish.. FEW
 |
| Arrived in Exumas |
I was dragging Alex behind the boat when he shouted to me to pull him in "BUT NOT TOO QUICK"
There was the biggest barracuda following him. About 6 ft and only about 2 ft behind him all the way to the boat as I pulled him in. It was very funny. And he did not move. HAhahaha I nearly let him out again for a laugh.
 |
| Great sailing. Flat water. Hot and Blue |
 |
| And Blue |
Now these are the most chilled Pigs on the Planet. We fed them some apples, and I swear I heard them say thanks. They all get excited when you dingy aver to the beach, ad stand around till you russel in a bag.
Some are happy to swim out to the dingy, but the others stand around waiting their turn.
 |
| They float along and kinda bounce on the bottom. |
 |
| Happy to see boats with food |
 |
| Life is a Beach |
 |
| Not bothered by us |
 |
| What a cool bunch of Pigs |
 |
| Really quite Patient and Polite |
Shroud Cay !
This is at Shroud Cay. We sailed over due to the recommendation of our Friend Jerry from "Myriam"
Thanks Jerry, we had a great time there. we almost got stuck as I motored really close to the Cay as the tide was high, and managed to move away just before it was too low. When we left we had 0.1m under the boat. and at sometimes my depth gauge read 0.0m
We got stuck many times in the Bahamas

Nassau
And we were on supposed to be on the way to Nassau to meet Gerda at 17:00. We finally arrived at 19:20 and then had to get up to the airport. I thought I could walk there. about 2 miles. So I set off initially by foot. Some people raised an eyebrow. I finally did take a Taxi to the right Airport..... 12 miles away.
Really happy I did not walk!

| Wife no sure if she is happy to be back on the boat |
