We arrived at our anchorage near the Landrail Point Settlement on Crooked Island yesterday afternoon. We had a good trip down but no sailing wind so we motored the 46 miles.

| Al is looking for lunch but no luck today |
This morning we went snorkelling on the reef beside our boat. We saw a shark, baracuda and some good sized coral heads.

| The fuel boat came in from Gregory Town, we almost ran over his hose in the dingy. |
After we went to see the settlement here and met some very nice people. There are about 500 people who live on the island. The Landrail Settlement was settled by Seventh Day Adventists and the church is still very active here.
We toured the village and had a great lunch in the restaurant for just 5$ each, including dessert. The stores here are well stocked, better than we have seen in other small centers. There is also more farming here than we have witnessed elsewhere in the Bahamas. After lunch we visited a lighthouse

| The light house has long been abandoned |
 |
| 2 families used to live here at one time |
 |
| The steel steps are getting very rusty |
 |
| The view from the top is spectacular |

Lovely walk on the beach returning to the boat to end a fabulous day in paradise.
We are off to Acklands Island tomorrow and then down to Hogsty Reef which is 40 miles south of Acklands Island to do some scuba diving. |
