Pineapple Air...Gotta love the name.
A couple of weeks ago while at Long Island , Minnie the kitty came down with a uti. Urinary tract infection. We did a bit of investigative research and also with the help of some local knowledge and the cruiseheimers net on ssb, were able to get her on a 14 day course of antibiotics which we had on board. We thought we had it licked but 2 nights ago while on the northern end of Cat Island, (how ironic) symptoms returned. We had to do
some quick planning as we sat in the lee of Pigeon bay. So the slight delay adventure began...up at 0600 on thursday morning for a brisk downwind sail to Eleuthra's south end where we had made arrangements at Davis Harbor Marina to take a dock. Brisk indeed were the winds...20-25 on the stern with 4-6' seas until we rounded the tip of Eleuthra at which point the seas calmed but wind stayed up. Truely a wonderful ride. Into the marina in time to get a rental car. Friday morning once again off we drove on the left side of the road for the airport at Rock Sound. A 0710 flight got the three of us to Nassau in time for the 0900 opening of the vet clinic. Dr Sands and her staff went out of their way to do some tests, make a diagnosis and have us back in the taxi by 1200 to the airport which is where sit now.... waiting to return to Iemanja. 
Minnie enjoying the view from before takeoff.
With some weeks ahead of us before we once again make landfall stateside, we both felt it best to make sure Minnie was healthy enough to continue. We hope to have it this time. 
Glad Minnie got some medical attention. Hope she is over the UTI stuff and *everyone* can enjoy the remainder of your trip.
