Orchid Bay, Photos, Power and fuel

 I've uploaded some photos into the bucket and the tracks are updated as well.
 Over all, I'd say Freedom has been good to us with regard to fuel consumption as long as we didn't push it hard. We can easily get 1.5 Npg and we are sure that we have hit 2.
 Coming across the stream we pushed her to 1500 and that dropped the consumption to 1.0 without question. But it was a choice between slogging through it or waddling through it and we chose to make the time in the stream pass more quickly.
 Anyone coming over here had better make sure they keep topped off before they decide to go anywhere. Gas is non-existent and diesel is also difficult to locate. We dried up the pumps here at Orchid bay when we took on about 55 gallons of diesel.
 The power on the island is remarkably stable in spite of the fire they had at the main power plant on Abaco. It seems a high voltage switch panel blew up and it took three hours to put the fire out. As a result rolling black outs have been occuring. It's a good thing we have the inverter because it along with the house battery bank has been able to fill in the shore power voids.
 Hopefully that ability continues!

 It was 90 down here today and we took a ride to Spoil Island where we found a few interesting shells. It was quite a rough ride back in the dink since the wind was out of the South and that put it square on the bow all the way back to Orchid Bay.
