Joyce is blogging for Dan.

 Monday night was the first night we spent anchoring outside of any marina and the location was so very peaceful. At this site we enjoyed walking on the beach; dinner cooked by Dan, a gorgeous sunset and enjoyed gazing at an incredibly clear, star lite, night sky!  There are no bugs here, at least not any that we see or feel,  warm days cool evenings and a full moon. The tides are exaggerated with the full moon, as evidenced by, changing dock heights when tied up in marinas.

Today we crossed into the Atlantic Ocean and away from the Abacos Islands and are docked for 2 nights at Harbour Island in Eleuthera, part of the greater Bahamas Islands. We had a great traveling day complete with sightings if 100s of black Dolphins; So amazing to see.

Captain Woody stepped on board and piloted us through “devils backbone”; very jagged coral reefs make this area particularly difficult to navigate and so this man has made a vocation of piloting boats through this area. An additional benefit was fresh baked bread and carrot cake provided to us by his wife.

All of us are well and Capt Keith continues to provide interesting places to travel while avoiding shallow sand and coral reefs all of which would be unforgiving should you cross their paths.

PS first picture is our anchor location from Monday night.

All for now but off to the pink beach tomorrow
