This morning was decision making time.  Mary and Dewey are scheduled to fly to Nassua from Eleuthra on Saturday.  With the progress we have been making and the bad weather forecasted, we had to decide whether to forge on and reschedule their flights and return home or to fly out of Georgetown on Great Exuma.  We decided to forge on.  They made some calls and got it worked out.  We were late leaving - after provisioning twice and taking on water and fuel - left about 10:30am.  Our plan was to make if about 45 miles to Farmers Cays.  After the first 2 hours of a really nice westerly beam reach, the wind picked up to around 25.  We dropped the mizzen and reefed the main.  The wind was forecasted to clock around to the NW so we decided to stop short.  We went through Adderly Cut (at about 4:30pm) and into an anchorage with about 8 other boats, in the lee of Norman's Pond Cay.  Dewey swam a quarter mile to shore, I sun showered.  Had coctails and them Captain Phil fixed burgers on his George Foreman burger grill.  They were great.  Had a huge thunderstorm at 10pm that lasted about 30 minutes with lots of rain and winds that sounded like 50 to 60 kts.  Happily, our single anchor (delta) held.
