Hello From Spunky

Many of you receive Elyse's update which is much better than mine so I have included it below for the rest of you. Life is wonderful! We are anchored off of David Copperfield's private island. He is nice enough to provide free wifi which we are taking advantage of. I am hopeful we will be able to get the Super bowl tonight. Elyse is pretty anxious to know how it turns out.

We have met a ton of people crusing on their boats. What a wonderful life. Things break and we continue to learn how to fix them. One guy said we would all make good farmers being so self sufficient.

Those of you who don't know, when we mention a Cay ( pronounced key) we are speaking of islands. Yesterday I met a guy in a ratty Florida State tee shirt walking with a Bahamian taling about dogs. When I asked if he lived there he said no, he lived in Miami. He said he owned some real estate in the Bahamas. When I asked for details he said he bought 5 islands 20 years ago. He sold one of them not long ago to Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill. Life is good for him as well.

It feels like we are hardly making a dent in our food supply although Elyse informed me we only have coffee filters to last a couple of months. Life can get tough but I think we will be alright. We looked all down the east coast for the #6 size without luck.

Tomorrow we will go onto the Sound side of the Exumas. We have been on the Banks side where the depth rairly gets above 20 feet. In the Sound it will get up to 1,000 feet deep.

Moose does better every time we go out. That being said I think we may look for a loving home for him this summer so he doesn't have to return with us. This afternoon it was low tide and I had to walk the dingy about 100 yards to get to shore. Actually it was still sitting in about 4 inches of water when we carried him in to do his business.

Elyse is terrified we will get lost or run aground. As a result she has become and unbelievable navigator. We are having problems with our chartplotter but she has her charts and plots our location about every 30 minutes. Today we used our hand held GPS which allows us to set up waypoints so we know which way to go. I have become very lax an
