After spending a night at Alabaster Bay and a night at Current Cut, we picked up a mooring ball in Spanish Wells.

| Approaching Current Cut |
Spanish Wells is a small, bustling, fishing community, which supplies the Bahamas with half of all its seafood production.
 |
| Mom and Dad were impressed with the colorful, well kept homes here, but the highlight for us were the golf carts available to rent. |
We had met a family who was going across the island to deliver Creole Bibles to a Haitian settlement, and we tagged along with them
While the girls were visiting with the Haitian kids, Michael, Dad, Mr. Robnik (from Diamond) and his daughter Emily, went out lobstering.
Both Michael and Mr. Robnik brought home lobsters, and they were both ecstatic.
After dinner one evening, we were treated to a show by a pod of dolphins who swam around our boat for an hour.
Then Michael treated us to a show of his own by swinging out over the water on the mainsail boom.The moon is particularly close to the earth right now, which only happens once every 18 years. This means that the tides are more extreme, and Mom and Erin decided to take advantage of the really low tide, and enjoyed an afternoon of shelling.

| Mom found a huge variety of unusual shells, but Erin wanted to see how many bubble shells she could find.... |
