More of the Bahamas

A great evening with some younger cruisers.
The windward side of Great Exuma.
Daryl and I continue to cruise the Bahamas now Lisa has gone and look forward to picking Jay up in Georgetown.
We were anchored off Little Halls Pond Cay that is owned by Johnny Depp, there was a lot of activity there, preparing for his beach wedding at the weekend we were there.  The tents on the beach were presumably for the guest accommodation.  We were requested to move out of the bay and not allowed to return till after the festivities were over.  The photos on the web look great though!
There are some spectacular sunsets here in the islands.  I don't know about the old saying "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight', but this sky got us a little worried.  We had torrential rain through the night after this sunset.

The prevailing with in the islands in from the East and so the better anchorages tend to be on the west side.  We decided to take a walk across to the east side.  There are some wonderful tracks that go through the bush.
Enjoying meeting up with friends on the beach at Lee Stocking island.  Wine and toasted marshmallows!           
Celebrating my birthday on board, lots of wine and lots of laughter too.                                                              
OMG, I can't believe I'm 60! Friends from 'Our Rose', a kiwi boat made me a carrot cake and decorated it with yellow cherries and candles to match the boat.  Not only did it look good, it tasted delicious too.
