Pulled anchor at 9:30 am and said our thanks and goodbyes to Sue and Elizabeth Harbour. The seas were about to 3 to 4 foot chop. We were right off Rudder Cay in about 2,000 feet of water! Phil spotted them 1st. We think there were 2 but maybe more....Sperm Whales!!! They were at least 40 feet long! We tried to get closer but they went down. We got about 100 feet away from them. It was so exciting!! I got a video but this is the only picture I got.

Going into Little Farmers was quite intense. It was a narrow passage going right up next to land and the current there had us going 10 knots plus!!
We anchored in Galliot Bank on the south side of Little Farmers at 3:30 PM and immediately put the Dink in the water to explore. We went into Little Harbour where there were turtles popping their heads up everywhere. We beached the Dink and an old gentleman named Johnny told us were we could eat. He told Phil to follow the music up the hill! It was very loud music! Sure enough we found the Ocean Cabin Restaurant. Great place...we had cracked conch of course!
This is a cute little settlement. The lady at the restaurant told me that the children here are sent away to Nassau at the age of 12 to finish their education. They only come home for the summer and holidays. Right by the restaurant was a 100 year old house they were working on. I'm glad we stop here.
It was a great day full of adventures!!
