Photos from Egg Island, Eleuthera to Matthew Town, Great Inagua

 Passage to Egg Island, Eleuthera

 We traded fish for ice and were allowed to docked at a private beach resort

 
For US $40,000, the resort island and its resources are yours for one week

 Our friend, Jermaine, points us to great diving

  Lenny Kravitz's beach in central Eleuthera. He has a Gulf Stream Coach trailer on the manicured beach. We went ashore there in our dinghy. Security promptly asked us to leave.

Snoozing while the autopilot does its good work, on passage from Rock Sound, Eleuthera to Staniel Cay, Exumas

 We created whisker poles out of PVC pipes to run downwind, wing-on-wing

Will you hand me that wrench, please?

A barracuda caught trolling on the way to Conception Island. Delicious.

One of JB's many inventions: the "drip-drip" coffee percolator

Our friends, the Rum Cay pirate crew

A few hours of spearfishing in Rum Cay yields much dinner

Talking with the Haitians on Baby-Love in Matthew Town, Great Inagua. Christian and JB helped them patch a hole.

Make room! The mailboat is coming.

Pride mixed with disbelief that such an inaccurate shot killed the mackerel

 Sunday afternoon, the mailboat

Watching the mailboat happenings

We speared parrot fish for the Haitians. Having gutted and salted the bundle, Renaurd raised it up the mast to dry out.
