We sailed past Freeport with it's ships (visions of Ft Lauderdale dancing in my head) and continued on to the 'West End'.We just anchored out,having been there before ,we decided it would make a nice final stop on the return trip before Judy flew home as it is also a beautiful marina and resort.Next am we sailed on to Great Sale Cay...arriving after dark to its anchorage.It's kinda neet waking up and going 'so this is what it looks like' We moved over to the beach erea to re anchor.saw many sharks on the way over.Once re anchored,we were greeted by 10-12 dolphins who came to see who was visiting.They stayed and played for about 20min

We walked the mile + long beach and found the remains of a 3000ft building that had a lil light house and lots of tankage at one time. Wondered what it was. Ole #50 lookin good out there
I like 'cruise pics' more , but here's some more boat ideas.This is how the V-berth ended up.I wanted it for storage only , but the cockpit cushions would allow a bunk on the stbd side.Note that I made the forward storage under the V-berth more accessable.I stored tools/spares there to get some weight forward.I did the same larger access to the stbd aft v-berth also.The fillers and table were 'blocked' and tied in place underway.

I screwed down these plastic bins as well as tied them.They carried lots of food etc. Ain't fancy but easy to use and worked out well.The flex tank for the head is under
Back to the 'fun' pics.I simply can't get excited about racing....these shots show WHY I sail. The 1000 word pictures. Both shots are of 'Manjack Cay'.A pretty island in the Abacos with a well protected anchorage in any wind but S.It has a beautiful , mile long+ beach on the N side.There is a wrecked barge and tug to dive on with tons of marine life. Friends "Bill and Leslie" ,originally from Florida, bought 14acres there and built their 'lil paradise' over the following years.Wonderful people who love cruisers.On any given Am...cruisers can be found gathered on their front step..having coffee,repairing sails,helping them with projects etc. All with a true "60's feeling" about it.The 1st boat behind the thatched roof is Revival.
