Turning around and heading north

We stayed in George Town through Thursday and decided to start heading back north so that we can begin to make our way back to Florida. Our first stop was Rat Cay. Elaine was a little skeptical of the destination upon hearing its name but once we arrived we found yet another beautiful anchorage. We explored a few beautiful white sandy beaches and did some snorkeling. The water is still a bit chilly but it’s worth the chill to see the beautiful coral heads and fish. Bill even saw a lobster but the season ended at the end of March. We just figure that he will be bigger next year and we will get him when we return!
On Saturday morning we had to say good bye to our friends Gordon, Lori, and Boomer on “Awesome Asset”. We have been traveling with them since leaving Nassau and they still have another month and a half of cruising left. Both Bill and I thoroughly enjoyed the time that we spent with them. Even though we will miss them, we know that we will see them again. If we are lucky, maybe we’ll see them before we leave the Bahamas!
You must know that Bill stayed up until 10 o’clock on Saturday night! I think that he was not as worn out because he did not have play time with Boomer on the beach!
We are back at Musha today. It’s the private island owned by David Copperfield. Even though we can’t go ashore, there are a few beaches nearby to explore. We will continue to head north and try to go to a few places that we missed on our way down. We hope to get a few provisions in the next few days. Hopefully, we can find a place that has the four items on our shopping list.
