Day 88 Great Inagua

20,57.39N 73,40.86W We arrived here yesterday, 
Great Inagua island. There is a lake in the middle of the 
Island with a huge Flamingo colony, we have seen 
them flying by the yacht. The island is small with 
1600 inhabitants most of whom work at the salt plant. 
We can see the devastation of a hurricane that hit the 
island a few years ago, fishing boats beached,steel 
structures bent. We are anchored in 5m of glorious 
blue water and can see the bottom clearly. The sea is 
so flat its wonderful. Today we leave for Little Ragged 
island, a 24 hour trip. These islands are at the edge of 
the Bahama Islands, so we are getting a taste of whats 
to come later, after Cuba. Rob caught a Tuna yesterday, 
great for dinner tonight.
