Gypsea Heart left for an overnight sail to Conception Cay, while we continued south. We left though a cut heading for the Exuma Banks (as opposed to Exuma Sound). The cut was narrow, and the light not the best. We ran aground on a sandy bottom, but got off with an assist from the sails and the dinghy. That afternoon we got to Big Majors Spot and anchored for the night. In the morning, we fed the pigs that hang out on shore (they enjoyed a feast of old brussel sprouts). We visited Fowl Cay, home of a sandals resort, and then took the dinghy to Staniel Cay for lunch. It was a bid chilly for snorkeling, so we passed on Thunderball cave – will save that for another visit. The rest of the day was a motorsail south to Big Farmers Cay. We got in with only about 20 minutes of daylight left, and anchored behind Galliott Cay for an early departure the next morning through Galliott Cut into Exuma Sound. We were only one island away from Musha Cay (owned by David Copperfield, with its own resort). This area was just a beautiful, isolated anchorage.
