A Beautiful Sail!















I took this beautiful picture of the setting sun at anchor in Marsh Harbor. We spent two nights there so I could do laundry and Larry could change our alternator belt on the engine. Then purchase replacements. We spent Wednesday doing those errands and Thursday we relaxed on the boat and went for a walk at shore.














Friday morning we lifted our anchor and returned to Great Guana Cay. This was a self portrait taken by Larry at the beach on Saturday morning. We had a great walk and wet our feet in the surf but didn't go swimming or snorkeling. We didn't even find shells or beach glass. As you can see it was a glorious day.















Another cruiser we met, Phil brought these guys up for a closer look and pictures. After which he put them back in the water. I noticed that they floated for a while, I guess they needed to absorb water again before going to the bottom. There are so many starfish in the water here that you can't go 50 feet without seeing many of the big guys.















This little guy was a, you guessed it, yellow submarine. I took this shot from our boat. The owner surfaced and came out to say hello. It is the second sub he has built. How cool is that.
















This is a picture of the amazing color of the water as we sailed around the Whale Cay cut this morning. We are getting ready to cross the Gulf Stream for our return to the US. We had a great sail today and are anchored at Manjack Cay for the night. Our plan is to stay here tomorrow and do some conch hunting early at low tide. Hopefully the wind and waves will cooperate.

Larry and GailGlad to see that you are alright.  Tried to email you on your old address and it came back stating that the email address was no longer valid.  Got lots of gossip to share with you from your old stomping grounds.  Could you send me your new email address?  Your old neighbor from the "cold country" Marsha  mb1231@Frontiernet.net

Great photos! I have never seen star fish that big.

I have also noticed that when you left a message at my blog, the e-mail address was listed as no longer valid. I forgot to tell you. You might want to check into that.

For some reason I'm starting to sing.. "We all live in a yellow submarine." ;o)
