Cat Island

	We dined at the renowned Blue Bird Restaurant with the crews of Yankee, Tango Time, Papi, and Polar Bear.

Little San Salvador

Little San Salvador used to be an uninhabited, quiet anchorage to shorten the hop between Cat Island and Eleuthera. Now Holland America owns it, has dubbed it Half Moon Cay and brings tons of tourists here for the day. We managed to arrive when there was no cruise liner there and had a reasonable night on the hook. The next morning though, Lynn had this view from the galley port as a liner arrived. We managed to up anchor and sail away before we were swamped by jet skis.

Sailing to Little San Salvador from Cat Island

Eleuthera

	We had a lot of rain while anchored in Rock Sound. While it kept us on the boat more than normal, we did get some spectacular views of squalls moving in and this gorgeous rainbow.
	We love the bright colors of buildings and houses. This red door in Rock Sound goes well with the red bougainvilleas.
	Looking back at the entry to Hatchet Bay Pond.

Spanish Wells

	We made our first visit in Spanish Wells and this community will undoubtedly become another favorite. It's flavor is different from others in that the community is overwhelmingly white. This beach is on the ocean side (Northeast Providence Channel).
	It is tricky to get into Spanish Wells from either entrance but it has an active small harbor with many larger boats coming and going.
	Houses are all on straight, paved streets, brightly painted and well maintained. There is actually enough top soil for yards to be landscaped and grassed.

Little Harbor

	Dolphin, turtle, and rays frequent the harbor.
	A little red dinghy shines in the morning sun, holding a spot for it's big boat.

Hope Town Elbow Cay

	Hope Town's small harbor is crowded with boats.
	Elbow Cay is very narrow here and it is a short walk to the beaches of the Atlantic side. This could almost be a picture of the Outer Banks of North Carolina but waves break over the reef about 1/4 mile offshore.
	Tropical plants and flowers brighten the gaily painted cottages, many of which are vacation rentals. Here a hibiscus pokes it way through a picket fence.
	The dominant and most famous land mark is the light house. It is one of the few remaining kerosene lights and is well worth the climb to the top. The view from there is beautiful but the light house itself captured our attention.
	Many dinghies and small power boats cruise by Sunspot Baby. Toby stands watch hoping for a ride.
