Time to move on again!
Off into the Exuma Sound for another exciting day of dodging coral heads
. . . not. Diligently following the
rhumb lines on charts keeps us in 10 to 20 feet of water and once we even found
a deep hole of 30 feet! Around 10:30am,
after only an hour of cruising, Peggy heard a strange hissing noise when she
into the galley. And then there was the
water, not usually something one likes to see on the inside of a boat. Bob came to the rescue when he discovered
that the constant movement of the stabilizers had rubbed a hole in the
pressurized fresh water inlet of the washing machine. Our limited fresh water supply was becoming a
fine spray which soaked everything behind, under and around the washer/dryer
unit but Bob soon found the valve to shut off the water supply. A sponge and a fan finished up the job and
the excitement was over with no more than a gallon of water lost.

Anchoring at Black Point Settlement in the early afternoon we had
hoped, to no avail, for internet or phone service in the anchorage. Silly us!
It meant going ashore with the laptops in search of free WiFi. First we ran into other cruisers and ended up
going to Scorpios, whose Happy Hour was tonight from 4-6, so of course we
stayed from 3:45 to 7:00 and each of us had a Kalik (Bahamian beer) and
downloaded and answered emails, and returned to the boat after dark. Late night!
