In the amount of two days we went from Marathon to Rodriguez Key and we did the overnight crossing to the Bahamas.

I woke up at around 2:00 in the morning and the boat was rocking and rolling. I tried to go back to sleep without any luck so I got up, got dressed, and went up into the cock pit. It was pitch black outside and the boat was banging into the waves I was looking around when I saw the boat Hook. Hook was our crossing buddy. The family on Hook is the Henry family, Steve, Kirsten, and their children, Emma (9), and Maddie(6).  They looked worse than us. Their bow would get buried in a wave every now and again. The green bow light would disappear the reappear over and over again. It was getting on morning and the waves picked up a little and everything was getting rocky and rolly. There was not much to talk about except seasickness. We came into the Bahamas and the depth sounder was not working, Hook made an old fashion sounder: a rope with knots and a weight on the end. We got in fine and WE WENT TO A MARINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing and the power has fed me well. My computer is fully charged all the time. It is great!!! We went snorkeling two days ago. I was blown away.We were not even on a reef and it was amazing. There were two wrecks, both speed boats. There were queen angel fish, butterfly fish, yellow tail snapper, NURSE SHARKS (they were my favorite), a dead lion fish that some one had speared. (They are an invasive species and MUST BE EXTERMINATED.) These were some of the other fish that I saw: squirrel fish , wrasses, spotted eagle rays. They were amazing!
