We arrived here about 5:00 pm having travelled about 61 miles that day. We had a good south wind and following sea but the trip took a Sabbatical about one mile from the marina when we went aground in about 4.5 feet of water. We could not seem to find the deeper water to resolved the issue by putting out the sail and leaning her over with about a 35 degree heel in our very accomodating 25 kt wind. It saved us waiting two hours for the tide to return. Captain tells me the charts are out about 5 feet which could have been due to the New Moon. Anyway notice to following Mariners. We are on a ball at the Marina and will be weathered here a few days.
The week-end at hand we will be checking out the Methodist Church which so kindly provided a Thanksgiving Dinner the last time we were here.

Glad to see you are making progress despite the bumps (literally) along the way.
Thanks for the hilarious postcard from the Bahama's featuring our intrepid underwater golfer. I'll have to try that someday...
Have a great weekend and CU soon! peter (and ellie )
