Last Days of the Jumentos




It has been a week since Maxine's party and finally the wind direction has given us an opportunity to make our way back up the Jumento's chain. We have enjoyed our stay at Hog Cay.

The Lady Jane, a fishing boat from Nassau joined the cruisers for a beach party and provided some fish the other night. Each cruising boat brought something to BBQ and a dish to share. There is always plenty of food at these gatherings. One of the cruisers brought a little stereo and a few of us did some dancing in the sand under the moonlight. It was a fun evening and a good opportunity to meet other boaters. Before the night was through we had several of the crew of the Lady Jane dancing with us. The Bahamians are so friendly and welcoming.


Just as Lynn is healing I caught my leg on a sharp stick and took a tumble. Gratefully I didn't land on razor rock but I took quite a chunk out of my leg. After trying to doctor my wound ourselves we thought we should see if Dr. Bob could take a look at it and it was a good thing that he did as I ended up with five stitches. This is when you are glad that you have a good medical kit and carry antibiotics on board. My foot was quite sore and swollen for a day but it is feeling better today.
