Little San Salvador...









We found a great weather window to head north and away we went. Sailing across the Exuma Sound we hooked our second mahi mahi of the season. A bit bigger than the last - measuring in at 42 inches. A bit more challenging than the last as well as the reel began to give way and we weren't sure we would be able to reel the fish in but we managed. The Captain donned gloves and pulled the line in while I managed to get the line back onto the reel. Nonetheless, well worth the additional effort.


Little San Salvador was easy to spot on approach. It had a huge Carnival cruise ship anchored off of it. No surprise as the island is Carnival's private island. What was a surprise, however, is our second day there we had no cruise ship in. This gave the Captain and I the opportunity to go ashore and explore. The beach was great. We even found a hammock to swing in for a while.


But weather has been good which means we should continue to move rather than lazy away our time on the beach. So onward we continue.

That's really funny that you were on the Carnival island without a cruise ship around. Did you run into any docents?
