After a very rolly, sleepless night anchored in “the middle” with no protection from the breeze that blew on about 11 pm, we turned on the VHF for “the Cruiser’s Net” promptly at 8 am. After announcing departures, events for the day - water aerobics, ladies bible study, and rock painting for the kids, the airwaves are open to those looking for boat parts, advice, etc. Seizing our opportunity, Harry chimed in with a request for anyone with the part we needed to please contact us and Jim Felds on “Kokomo” thought he might have just what we were looking for. So we moved Juno and anchored just next to Kokomo, off Stocking Island, and as luck would have it, Kokomo did have the part we needed and wouldn’t accept anything for it. Suddenly, things were looking much better as now we had a reliable dinghy and seized the opportunity to check out “Chat and Chill” beach which served as HQ for the regatta and the social hub for the cruiser community.

After exploring social scene at Volley Ball Beach and the Chat and Chill, we headed off to the east side of Stocking Island for a more typical Bahamas environment.
