Brown Booby

We left Hog Cay early this morning and set sail for Water Cay, 50 miles to the north. As we were sailing in the deep water on the east side of the island chain we noticed an interesting looking bird flying circles around us. While we had the Starlink on I used my Merlin app to eventually identify the bird as a brown booby. The bird stayed with us for quite a while, occasionally landing on the water and floating around before taking flight again. It was eventually joined by two other brown boobies. 

We spent most of yesterday working on chores, then going ashore for the gathering in the late afternoon. Although there were just six of us there, we enjoyed the easy time of socialization.
