Our cats pick the destination

This morning we left George Town for the fourth (& last?) time.  Zim and Fluff saw what looked like an interesting sounding place on the chart so we headed to Cat Island.  We were having a pretty nice sail until the wind started to go really light.  Just before lunch we had to start the diesel, and by mid afternoon we ended up taking the mainsail down.  This is the first time we haven't been able to sail to our destination since crossing the Gulf Stream from Florida.  That also means it's the first time we have fully charged batteries since arriving in the Bahamas.

What a change from George Town.  I had mentioned the 300 plus boats there - we're the 9th boat here.  Tomorrow we'll explore the settlement here.  We will also try to find and climb Mt Alvernius, the highest hill in the Bahamas.

First, thanks for all the weather reports. It's nice to know we picked a good year to be way far south. I won't bore you with our weather, but keep the reports coming so we know when it's safe to start heading back to the Mid West.
The water barrel/barrow sounds like a pretty good idea. I hope lots of people can take advantage it. I was assuming any one following this blog has running water.
