Little Farmers Cay, the Bahamas

Day nr 6: Short visit of George Town - left towards Flamingo Bay about 7 miles in the north. No more wind when motoring along the Great Exuma coast - it was pretty hot! "Fish on!" - "Fish gone!" The fishing line was not strong enough for that big fish. Max is angry about loosing one of his 15 $ hooks When we arrived at Flamingo Bay it was too shallow to anchor there so we decided to go on until Rolleville at the northern end of Great Exuma. This was a very perfect place - wonderful for swimming - nobody else there. For dinner we had delicious grilled Mahi-Mahi. We highly recommend Captain Mark's potatoes & onions! The evening was like a dream: Tropically warm, light wind, the full moon would rise brighter than the evening before Mark "I've got the CD of that concert - put it into the stereo and after half an hour we all sang the banana boat song. Suddenly I looked to the moon and "this cannot happen within one day!", I said. From full moon to 20 %? No! This is an eclipse! Yeah! Witnessing an eclipse in a tropical full-moon-night is a very rare and special experience! Amazing! We emptied a whole bottle of Mount Gay Rum with Coca Cola sitting outside until midnight again What a night!

Day nr 7: Again no wind - we were motoring up to Williams Cay where we found a wonderful bay with a white sands beach, the sea around us looking like a big swimming pool. The 6 ft deep water was so clear! Because of no wind we had the impression that the big catamaran flew above the green ground Manuela likes conditions like that. Max and I took the opportunity for a little walk on a little trail across the hill to the other eastern side of the island.
