Kitten update: The kitten has a home! A woman in Exuma adopted the kitten and sent us pictures and video of "Leo" in his new home. Thanks to all who sent donations to the Humane Society of Exuma (for info - scroll down to the last post).
When we returned to Hog Cay after the kitten transport "Southern Cross" with friends Don and D aboard sailed south the same day. We met up with them and Bluejacket at Buena Vista Cay before heading south to Hog Cay where we got together for a week of dinners, games, visiting and hiking. Then we all left the Hog Cay anchorage: Southern Cross to return to Georgetown. Persephone and Bluejacket headed north to Raccoon Cay and Buena Vista Cay to snorkel and hunt while the winds were predicted to be lighter. You can see a sample below of what Jerry and Jerry spear. We both have lots of fish and lobster in the fridge/freezer!

| Every fishing trip requires a considerable amount of time to filet the catch and vacuum pack it for storage. Here Jerry has three hogfish to filet. |

We are now back at Hog Cay as the forecast was for strong northerly winds. Good time to sail south. And the forecast was right! Yesterday we left Buena Vista with light winds. We have the spinnaker aboard and decided to use it. No sense in just carrying it around.

Just as we rounded the tip of Margaret Shoal and took the spinnaker down the wind piped up. 20+ knots as we sailed in and anchored - Jerry is proud to report that we have not used the motor. We sail off anchor and come in to anchor under sail. Diesel tanks are full!
We will be here at Hog Cay for a bit longer before heading north.
Hope all is well with you and look forward to hearing what's going on in your lives.
