Farmer's Cay

Sailed down here from Staniel where we spent last night. Kind of choppy and a bit of a disappointment after the stellar secret anchorage of the 2 previous nights. Will try to get Mary to post some photos of that special place.

We anchored a little ways from town, which looks like it is under assault by a veritable armada of cruisers. There is a cruisers festival that features Bahamian sloop racing, hermit crab racing, music, and most likely excessive consumption of alcohol. We will participate in the first three. I will try to get the boat closer to town tomorrow. We went ashore and visited an impressive cave that Mary and I saw 8 years ago. Possible photos to follow.

Yesterday we anchored for a couple of hours near a small cay and rowed ashore for a bit of exploration. It was a delightful spot and we were joined by a pleasant couple from St Louis who were cruising around on very high end personal watercraft. We made a bit of small talk before heading back to our respective vessels. Theirs was a very large m egayacht named Glaze, which as you may expect, piqued our curiosity. A quick google check found that it had been listed for sale in 2017 for $20 million dollars. Quite a bit different from the type of cruising we are doing!

Cheers, Charlie
