Saturday 16 - Monday 25 January–Little Farmers Cay , Exumas Bahamas. 0 miles.

A time to rest and recharge the batteries. We have now been underway for nearly 3 months and moved almost every day. Both of us felt the need to slow down and smell the Kaliks a wee bit. Turns out we found the perfect spot for it.

Little Farmers Cay is the smallest settlement in the Exuma chain with only 61 (at last count) inhabitants. It features several anchorages and small mooring fields with all around protection; crystal clear (of course) turquiose waters and natural small harbor with dinghy dock and free R/O water.

The people are incredibly friendly and none more so than the proprietors of Ocean Cabin, Terry and Ernestine Bain.
Ocean Cabin is a small bar and restaurant with happy hours whenever Terry thinks it is a good idea and the best lobster in the world!

I am normally not the fond of lobster but Ernestine broils it a special way with just the right amount of hot sauce, garlic and other goodies and serves it with brown rice and Bahamian coleslaw. Paired with a chilled Chardonnay it was mind blowingly good.

Hermit crab races –Ocean Cabin
Fantastic experience, Bahamian equivalent to the Kentucky Derby and Aintree Grand National. Jorgen cleaned out the bookies and was the talk of the town, having picked the winner of both races, one of which was the Querencia Cup, sponsored no less by s/v Querencia.


Flag & Song – Little Farmers Cay
It is the only Island in the Bahamas to have its own flag which is hanging below our Bahamian Courtesy flag. They also have there own anthem which we are forced to sing after each dinner at Ocean Cabin, we know the words by heart now, great song lads.

Headin' into town...
