Lots of photos!

Things have been crazy here - as soon as we arrived back in Colorado we plunged into work on our partly-remodeled house - but I wanted to get more pictures out on the website before you all got bored and wandered away! These are some of our better pictures from April. Thumbnails go to 800x600 pictures.

	Samson Cay is a popular spot for fancy megayachts. The crew moves the boat there and the owners arrive by floatplane		Birds hanging out on a dock
	Going upwind on a windy day - our sails are reefed down tiny!		Strong current in Big Rock Cut near Staniel Cay shows as swirls on the water
	Yachties and locals outside Exuma Market in George Town		A vendor talks with schoolkids in George Town
	A balloon fish - they inflate and their spines stick out when they are frightened		A big school of small bar jacks
	A small school of big barracudas		Bahamian fishermen clean conch near a wreck off Flamingo Cay, Jumentos
	Inscription we found scratched in a limestone cliff on Flamingo Cay. It says 1866 J.M.		Windom at anchor at Flamingo Cay
	Britt in a (dry) well on Flamingo Cay		Ruin of building at Flamingo Cay
	Inland water holes at Flamingo Cay		This water hole was very beautiful
	The water holes are filled with tiny red shrimp		Lots of conched-out conch shells
	A very large school of grunts		School of horse-eye jacks
	Pretty coral garden with a blue tang and a few grunts		An underwater tunnel
	Britt repairs a tear in our jib		A bird in a nest tucked into a solution pocket in the limestone of Buena Vista Cay. (We didn't get very close or use flash because we didn't want to disturb her. It's a zoom shot.)
	Anchorage at Raccoon Cay. As usual, Windom's the only boat...		Little birds seemed to love the beach on Johnson Cay.
	Plastic trash items washed up on a windward beach...		...make a colorful trash mosaic
	Christmas tree worms on coral - they're a kind of tube worm which retracts into its hole when disturbed.		A nice stand of finger coral
	Red hind (also called strawberry grouper)		Britt fishing
	Ilana fishing - whoa, we got something big!		...and something got it!
