Did I tell you the fishing has been great?

I think we have the blog working again after a few hours of fix. Let's hope it works because I would have to tell you you can't continue with us in the Islands and throw my computer overboard.
The pictures may not be in order, but I don't think you will mind.
We are having a wonderful time and the weather has been great except for one night when we took turns doing watch all night during storms in a close anchorage. (didn't want to lose her on the rocks)

Exumas here we come!

Every one who follows our blog load you gear because we are leaving at 05:00 tomorrow (Monday) for the Exumas. It will take us 4 to 5 days to get all the way down, but the trip going there will be great.
Our first stop will be Bimini after an eleven hour crossing. After that we will head to the Berry Islands and the Berry Island Club. From there we will travel to West Bay and then on to Normans Cay, Exumas. Friday we hope to be at Staniel Cay, Exumas for Susan Connelly's birthday party. Hopefully we will catch some dolphin and tuna along the way. Be ready by 04:30 because at 05:00 we are headed to the Islands Mon.
