How can you tell when the season's changed from Winter to Spring in the Bahamas?  Waterspouts!  Here's one approaching George Town.  (4/29/03)

RockSoundFourPointsView.jpg (89963 bytes)
Even if you don't celebrate Cinco De Mayo, you can't deny that the view from our bar stools was quite impressive.  (5/5/03)

Cruisers often spend time looking for ways to give back to the communities who open their towns and hearts to us on our visits.  One opportunity came during a local school fundraiser in Rock Sound.  The good was great and the dogs were a real hit with the kids.

Randy, Sheri, and their black lab, Pepper, joined us for a walk along Eleuthera's long pink sand beaches.  We were accompanied by a friendly Potcake puppy.  (5/8/03)

Here's the Potcake puppy in the previous photo showing us how to hunt for sand crabs.  Sequence runs top-left to bottom-right.  Very funny to watch as he sniffed out the crab's hole and then went digging.    (5/8/03)
EleutheraStoneCrab.jpg (279555 bytes)
Blaine brought home lunch in Eleuthera -- Stone Crab!  We harvested the claws and threw the rest back so he could go on to regenerate new claws for lunch next year.  There's not much meat in the crabs body anyway.  (5/9/03)

Our friend Enrico, who owns/operates the Cocodimama Charming Resort in Eleuthera, came along for a long sail from Alabaster Bay to Spanish Wells.  He sailed us part of the way and then gave in to the urge to just relax.

Blaine shows off another great catch.  This one on our 500-mile passage from Eleuthera to Charleston.  (5/14/03)
BlaineKissesMahiMahi.jpg (98635 bytes)
Knowing that this was probably the last Mahi Mahi from our winter in the Bahamas, Blaine kisses the fish and the Bahamas good-bye. (5/14/03)

We arrived safely in Charleston on Saturday, May 17th, which ends this years' Passage South.   Thanks for traveling wit h us.  Still more adventures to follow.
