Good morning from Big Major

This was last nights sunset here in Big Major in the Exumas. We got here a couple of days ago for a nice stretch of easterly winds that should last into mid week. Yesterday's winds were a bit brisk still out of the NE so it was on the coolish side but nice sunny weather. The anchorage is just around the corner from Staniel Cay where we have already done a bit of reprovishing. The boat did not come in last week so we are hanging around till at least tomorrow...Tuesday....to repro for our next week or so southbound.


Today will be a snorkel over in Thunderball Groto. It's a spot that has some partial caves that require slack water in the tide cycle. This means no movement in or out of the tidal currents after the outbound tide but before the inbound starts. The same at the other end of the cycle. Also hoping to get some fresh fish over at the docks. So it will be a busy day......but not too busy.....

Internet is good here as we are very close to the BTC tower on Staniel. So our hotspot is working which allows us to bring in more weather info and of course check email so we can stay at least remotely connected...I guess.
It is looking like with the exception of a couple of mild cold front passages this week with not much associated wind , that things are going to settle out next week into a more regular trade wind direction. Things are also looking good for the Bahama bound travelers that are waiting over in the states. Looks like some good opportunities for this week....safe travels to them.
