Beach combing

 Finally we are getting a little sunlight down here. Not only that but the Sea of Abaco laid down and that enabled us to make a run to Spoil Island in search of shells.
 Here's a photo of Deb's collection for the day. Believe me she had to work for it because once we got out onto the Sea the water situation changed quite a bit. It started out smooth enough and we were able to make 16 knots in the dink easily. But after a couple of miles it turned into a good 1 foot of chop that made the ride quite rough. Since it was following us we knew the ride back was going to be unpleasant.
 With that Deb's collection activities were reigned in and we stayed a very short while. As it turned out there were other folks working the island in the opposite direction so there was no point in going all the way around.
 By sticking close to Guana we were able to avoid quite a bit of rough water but the ride seemed longer than it usually is due to the roughness.






But the sunsets are still quite pleasant.



Tracks updated.
