Back with internet of sorts!

Hi F & F
Now typing from Graeme's old computer I see Harbor Town became harbo own.Wish I did own it i
but was a typo as  you see having no editor can cause a few spelling mistakes along the way!Well now in the Exhumas.I will need to backtrack to catch up.
This is real cruising now in the Bahamas.
Day 11
We left in NE winds and a sunny day taking on the services once again of Bandit the old sea capt who had been on the job since 1968 tavelling the waters around the area. We paid him the $60 each and we were lead boat once again. This time he came aboard and attached his small boat on the back of ours. He took over the driving and  we wound our way once again through the tricky coral heads to Spanish Wells.Not much at Spanish Wells but they had a good fuel dock and we all fuelled up there.We picked up a bucket with a clear bottom useful for checking anchor setting and also for checking out the fish and corals around the reefs.We stopped at Current Cut on the way South.A good opportunity to practice anchoring before the real thing. Also Nancy and Bill had suggested a snorkel  through the Cut taking the dingy with us and throwing out a line.We did this a couple of times Saw some fish and it was fun just dfriting along
