Day 33 – 2/3/11

Off we go to Little Farmer Cay.  Mary and Dennis are off to Nassau, as her bite is not getting any better and the nurse recommended that they see a doctor.   In talking to Dennis later, he saw us sailing south as his flight stopped at Little Farmers before heading to Nassau, and snapped a couple of pictures from the sky.  Oh yeah, while hoisting the engine back on the boat, I threw my back out.  It wasn’t bad, but anchoring and putting the engine back on the dingy hurt like hell, even after stretching.  It was a short 8 mile trip to the West Bay anchorage on Little Farmers Cay, and we anchored next to a Lagoon 38 in about 3 – 4 feet of water. 

We went ashore, leaving the dingy on the beach, and went to the Farmer Cay Yacht Club which has docking for about 4 boats.  They had specials on rum punch and we decided to try them, not bad, and I was hoping that they would ease my back pain, which unfortunately they did not.  We met several people asking about Dennis and Mary, and we would let them know once I spoke with Dennis.  We met the couple on the Lagoon 38 who sold everything and now live on the boat.  They are on their way north having been cruising through Central America this winter. 
We went back to the boat and showered and had dinner.  When we returned, the anchorage was filling up for the festival tomorrow.  I went to bed hoping that a good night’s sleep would help my back, not that the 2 mile walk helped it.
