Big Galliot to Little Farmers Cays, Exumas 5/23-25/10



Willow "cheated" - wearing wetsuits and dive tanks, so stayed down the
entire time. *I have no idea whether they found any fish which might be
targets for the presumed spears they were carrying, but I'd seen nothing to
warrant getting my folding spear out of its case. *By the time our Kiwi
buddies arrived, we were a bit chilled, and peckish to boot, so we headed
back to Flying Pig to get warmed up and have lunch.

They were doing more than "cheating" if they were spearing with scuba.
Cruisers who do that give all a bad name. If they can't get fish in
the Bahamas by free diving, then they should at least have the good
manners to buy them from locals.

Hi, Bill,

I have no reason to believe they were fishing (rethinking my presumption,
which was based on prior discussions of fishing there, thus assuming they
fished each time they were in the water); they, like we, are members of the
Seven Seas Cruising Association, which has as its motto "Leave a Clean
Wake" - of which you'll recall discussion in one of my recent logs.

Since they were aired, I doubt they were fishing, but, instead, sightseeing.

My reference had more to do with their ability to stay under, rather than
up-and-down, and the wetsuits which allowed longer immersion times.
