We go right by these days ...

and head to the southern Bahamas, Out Island. Cat, C&A, Raggeds. Sometimes you'll see these guys, but not often. Last time we were at Big Majors, there were a half dozen of these guys in there all lit up at night it looked like Atlantis, there were more powerboats than sail. Every now & then it's okay to see these guys, that is if they're nice enough to let me come along side and fill my water tanks with fresh water & give the boat a rinse, which at the 500 gallons/hour they are making, is the least they can do.

There's still plenty of places in the Exumas to go w/out having to deal with the jet-skis and the Hondas running continuously, but Big Majors lost that label a while ago. And now the Yacht Club charges $10 for internet, while you pay them $6 for a Kalik and $10 for a rum drink ... c'mon on David Hocker, the Internet should be free as long as we're patronizing your inheritance. My problem with the Exumas is there aren't any fish or lobster to shoot any more, too much pressure on the ecosystem.

So Jon ... what's your schedule ? We're in Vero and hoping to get out of here in a week. Make a straight run to probably GT, then C&A. You going to be around ?

NICE shot BTW ... the waterslide is priceless. Does this guy have the slide out bar & hot tub ?

Cheers, John
