Yesterday morning we left the boat bright and early so that I could go to the Farmers Market. George stayed with the dinghy in order to avoid having to tie up to the iron shore. I had much better luck at the market this week, buying a large bunch of collard greens along with arugula, eggs, chives, a coconut tart, and two sapodilla fruits. I was disappointed that all of the delicious tiny tomatoes had already been snapped up by other vendors at the market. After I finished at the market I walked up to Hillside Food Supply to buy lettuce and a few other items.
This morning’s rainbow.
Rainbow just shove the horizon as we crossed Exuma Sound.
Once we returned to Breeze On we raised the anchor and headed north to Hog Cay near the northern tip of Long Island. Hog Cay is a small private island with an unusual large octagonal house and a long, pretty beach. There is an osprey nest on the cupola of the house. The calls of the resident osprey pair remind us of the Chesapeake The island also has a large habitat for West Indian Whistling Ducks. These are nocturnal birds with a distinctive whistling song that we have heard in the past just after sunset. I had hope to get a recording of them last night but they were too far in the distance.
This morning we raised the anchor again and motor sailed 23 miles across Exuma Sound to George Town. We are expecting our daughter and son-in-law to fly into George Town in a few days and want to be ready for their arrival. The leaf spring part that George arranged to have sent to them did arrive ahead of the storm so they will be bringing it to us.
