Finally a Connection

I have hopefully resolved the software problems with my wifi extender and can get back to posting pictures.  We sailed from Little Farmer's Cay to Kidd Cove very near Georgetown.  We spent a few days there then moved over to Stocking Island just across Elizabeth Harbor.  Two different worlds! I'll start with posting some pictures from along the way to Georgetown then move on from there.  Enjoy!
This is the little village on Farmer's Cay.  It is so typical of Bahamanian villages in the Family Islands of Exuma.

David tried his hand, well ok, his mouth at conch blowing.  Turns out the bit of shell broken off the side kept him from success.  So the search for the perfect shell continues.

The first of the dolphin fish we caught.  For the politically correct, it is a mahi mahi.  When first brought aboard, they are this gorgeous yellow and blue color with vivid dots.  They quickly turn a dark color so I had to get the pictures fast..

And the second one.  We had another on the hook but one beautiful leap and it threw the hook.  Yep, the one that got away!

Both together with the lures that caught them.  David was so thrilled.  These are the first really large fish we have ever caught.  They hit so close together we must have found a school of them.

And the real prize, a large wahoo.  That is not the usual "take the picture already smile" but a real one.  For a guy who claims to hate picture taking he had me take about a dozen or more including the cleaning process.  Being a G rated blog, I left those out.
