Tuesday 1-22-08 White Pepper lifted anchor at 10:30 am for Little Farmer's Cay. Jan was quite interested as she had been here 20 years before with Harvey Branscome on his Bristol 40 Josephine. She had met and befriended the owner of the Ocean Cabin's Restaurant, Mr. Terry Bains. He remembered her immediately and gave us a warm welcome as did his delightful 10 year old daughter Khadijah. We had grouper at the restaurant. Bob Madry's picture is on the wall.
We were actually able to sail today. We had a delightful close reach of 17 n. mi. with reefed genoa. We anchored in only 6 feet of water behind the airstrip. That is some skinny water.
Weather is everything in the Bahamas. There should be a very calm period late Wed. and all of Thursday before the next front on Fri. am. We will use that window to make the jump to Georgetown by way of the Exuma Sound.

Hi Karl & Jan, we are here in Knuckleheads, where are you ? Philip, Joe & Roy. We have been talking about you (all of it good) You do seem to be getting your share of strong winds. You are missing Rita's 60th on Sunday, party saturday night. All is well, a little chilly here. P& R & J
