Thompson Bay, Long Island, Bahamas

 With the east winds slowly abating, it's about time to think about pulling anchor....we have to renew our immigration by March 17th....don't get me started on the crazy inconsistently enforced immigration policies and why we have to pay $200 each to renew our visas when identical sailors received 180 days when they cleared into the Bahamas with $0 required for their stay....anyhoooo.....end of rant.

 We haven't gotten any diesel fuel since before Christmas so time to fill the tanks for further northern travel.  

Off in the dinghy to the Long Island Petroleum station with jerry cans.  Always friendly and super helpful.   And added plus is that diesel fuel was only $5.10 a gallon!!!  I bet it's higher than that at home! 

Easy peasy to load the 20 gallons into the dinghy to take back to the boat and easier than bringing the big boat over to the fuel dock.  (Well maybe not easier but less stress in strong winds.)

 

Back to the boat the anchorage is clearing out a bit.  


 We'll be off to Georgetown tomorrow to go to the dreaded immigration office....
