Leaving Nassau at 8:30 this morning we made our way down the Grand Bahamas Bank toward the Exuma chain of islands.

It was a pretty uneventful, calm day (imagine that!) by the time we arrived at the northernmost island, Highborne Cay, some 7 hours later.

We anchored out just maybe 100 yards from the beach where 6 other boats were anchored. Ziggy was ready to get in the dinghy (imagine that too!) and it was a short ride to the shore so we rowed there.

Nice beach, pretty much to ourselves except for some party people down the beach a little way. They had jet skis and a big speed boat, racing each other back and forth.

Ed threw Ziggy in the water and she swam out to us a couple of times. When it was time to go she jumped right in the dinghy.

That dog is adapting quite well from her homeless days in Columbus County.
