Inching our way North

Friday morning after I finished changing oil we decided to leave our favorite anchorage, Big Major Spot, and head North, back to the Exumas Land and Sea Park North Anchorage. When we arrived along with Gypsies in the Palace, we saw two other Defevers in the anchorage. The four boats, September Song, Gypsies in the Palace, Utopia, and Cygnet got together for cocktails on September Song and as always shared our cruising stories, well, mostly Herb's stories from Utopia from 30 years ago in the Bahamas when it was more like the wild west of the drug trade. Tonight we went to the beach at the park headquarters where every Saturday night all the cruisers in the anchorage get together for cocktails and have a chance to meet other cruisers. It's always lots of fun to get together with people who have the same passion for cruising, trade favorite places and favorite stories. I should start a book of cruisers favorite stories. It would probably be a best seller. It's late and I'm turning into a pumpkin. Oh, did I tell you we have Internet via our 5-mile WIFI and the park's hot spot. It's nice to be able to blog on the boat from the pilot house.
