| Bitter Guana Cay, Exuma -Bahamas |
Welcome back to our recap of this year's ASA Flotilla. At least, the recap given to me over brief phone calls each night. It never fails that when Dallas is out on his trips, his cell phone goes on the fritz. It's always hard to hear him, and usually it cuts out here and there and makes actual conversations with him pretty frustrating. So we have gotten into the habit of asking the important questions first "Is everyone okay? Any gear mishaps? Weather update? Is all the food making it?" and if we get through all those questions without losing service then we're doing good :)
On Wednesday, the group took the day sailing from Big Farmer's Cay to Bitter Guana Cay. The winds were really light, so this particular day was very slow going. They had plenty of beautiful sunshine to pass their time.
What's in that Box for Wednesday?
Breakfast: Egg Wraps & fruit
Lunch: Tuna wraps & fruit
Appetizer: Salad
Dinner: Homemade Spaghetti
Dessert: Snickerdoodle cookies

After their stay on Bitter Guana Cay, where their island neighbors were the rock iguanas, they woke up to strong winds and another sunny day. They sailed a few miles above Staniel Cay to Twin Cays for lunch and to starting setting camp for the night.
After lunch, they headed up in to Compass Cay to swim with the sharks and then on up into the Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park for some snorkeling.
What's in that box for Thursday?
Thursday was good day for breakfast for sure. The group got to enjoy Coconut French Toast. They picked up the coconut bread from our sweet baker in Black Point on Wednesday while passing through. YUMMY!!!!!
Lunch: egg salad sandwiches
Appetizer: Homemade Spinach-Artichoke Dip with toasts & crackers
Dinner: BBQ Chicken (they weren't able to get the fresh catch unfortunately--no fish were biting), mashed potatoes & broccoli
Dessert: Pecan Tassies ( a dessert I make that Tazy loves for his birthday_
Tonight they are camping on Twin Cay. The photo above was taking on that cay when we took out boys camping for the first time. I'll always have a fond memory of it. Dallas said the wind is howling out there right now, and keeping the bugs away quite nicely!
On a side note, George Town, or The Bahamas is preparing for their 61st Sloop Sailing Regatta in George Town. It's crazy around town right now, but it'll only be around for a short time, then we'll have our calm, quiet and peaceful island back ;)
Hope you're enjoying following along a bit!
