We're still sitting (actually sailing about) but still attached securely to a mooring off the Exuma Land and Sea Park headquarters. We last reported that we were going to do a little sightseeing Saturday after a rolly night Friday and we did.

We have now watched wave tops being blown off in force 9 winds as a squall line passed through early afternoon and had force 8 winds most of rest of the day. We have been down to force 7 winds the last couple hours and the prediction is that they will diminish slowly through the night. Listening to the VHF radio has been exciting too.
