Thursday morning we woke to perfect conditions for a sail back to Marsh harbor. the winds were anywhere from 5-15 out of the NE to E. The return trip is a zig zag rum line to maneuver around reefs and shoals but we were able to keep our sails up until almost the end of the trip. When we started out there were 7 boats under sail leaving our anchorage...a beautiful sight.

Peter turned on the Jimmy Buffet channel on Serius radio and played it on our intercom horn. That got our friends on Ceili and Second Spree dancing. It was the perfect ending to our trip.
Back in Marsh Harbor we spent Friday replenishing the fresh food supply then in the afternoon we followed Bill and Linda in their dingy to Mermaid Reef, just outside Marsh harbor. We had a delightful hour snorkeling around and trying to identify all the fish. After showering and changing clothes we went across to Mangos Marina to join Bill & Linda at the restaurant for drinks and conch fritters.
Saturday we took the ferry to Man O War Cay. There was a flea market and craft fair to benefit the school. It is a nice Cay with a very busy main street and a few nice shops. On return we all decided to go to the steak barbecue at our marina and watched the rake and scrape. There are 3 locals who play music on saws, morraccas, and gourds. Then another man does a very impressive limbo under a pole which is lit on fire. We did not get pictures but will try at the next barbecue and post them later.

Sunday was another front moving through from the SW. Peter added extra lines as the wind was pushing us off the dock and that made it difficult to get off the boat!! Jane spent the day working on 2 weeks of laundry!
