February 17, 2007


Internet service has been very spotty. I have not been able to get on line this year using my satellite phone. Globalstar, the company I use for satellite service has not been reliable at all so far this trip... So I apologize for not undating this site very often and not answering your emails. I am hoping for improved service the further south we go... time will tell.

We are in Norman's Cay. The sailing vessel Breathless left here two days ago. They should be in George Town by now. Jill and I want to take our time exploring the middle Exumas, so we lagged behind to see the beauty in this area... I have a great many pictures but I can't upload them with the poor satellite reception in the area.
When we left Nassau we sailed across the Yellow Banks to get to Norman's Cay. The Yellow Banks are laced with shallow coral heads that can be very unfriendly to the keel of a boat. Jill went up on the bow to spot that dark areas in the crystal blue water and guide me away from the menacing coral heads.

We left Nassau on Valentine's Day.

We started our celebration while under sail.

I know what you're thinking, Dave. You're having a great time and wish I were there. Okay, you talked me into it.
Beautiful scenes. You have such a great life there.

Excellent portrait. I'm not sure about the location - if you want to swap with Denver for a little while I'll let you know!!
