The morning broke with a tropical storm, knocking out internet and washing away our stress with soothing sounds of rain on the canvas cockpit. We would try fishing on our way to Sale Cay.

Finally in the Bahamas, we were up early and ready to explore. Rays, minnows, small conch shells and squid swam lazily by, aware of our presence but they hardly took notice as we walked the beach.
