The Tongue of the Ocean


We departed Andros at 8:15 after an overnight stay at Lighhouse Marina and had a beautiful but long trip across part of the “Tongue of the Ocean” where the water depth is as great as 3000 meters (about 2 miles). The picture depicts a satellite image of the “Tongue of the Ocean.” Docked at Staniel Cay Yacht Club in the Exuma chain of islands. This is Neil’s and my second trip here and John’s third is a well known spot for diving the caves that were used in the filming of Thunderball in 1964. The boat on the T-dock next to us is 145 feet…………..we look like their tender! The last trip to Staniel Cay, Pukanis’ and Wartchows added the Cape Fear Yacht Club burgee to their collection and it is still there amongst the many others.
Today is Sunday the 24th (I think)…..just lose track of time! Just completed by “Chores.” I get the “molly maid jobs.”

Internet is at a snail's pace here.........so is life..........life is good......my hair is in pigtails......just call me Ellie May
