Taua’s return was a wonderful sight for us. Nicole was nearly beside herself, she was so happy. Unfortunately for Taua they had steering trouble, which was the reason for their sudden reappearance. On the positive note Boyd was able to help identify the problem. They were able to order a part and receive it in a very short period of time and now are ready to sail again. They kindly offered to stay until we were also repaired. Their part came in and repairs were made on Monday and our part was in and repairs were made on Wednesday. Now, since everyone is clear to go to the Exumas as soon we will leave as soon as the weather allows.

Meantime the girls have not eaten dinner apart once. They are together as much as we will allow them to be and they are entirely happy. Sleepovers have begun to be the hallmark of our stay here at Marsh Harbor as, for the girls at least, it has turned into one big play date run on. Did I mention how happy we are that they returned?!!

Looks like the weather will be cooperative by the weekend and we’ll try to move down to Little Harbor then. Little Harbor is the end of the inside in the Sea of Abaco. In fact we can’t get into Little Harbor and will have to anchor outside. That’s the way it is over here. 5.5 ft draft and some places you just can’t get to. For the most part though it hasn’t held us back. I wouldn’t want to try to see this area with a deeper draft though. It’s a squeeze sometimes even for us.
