On the 28th and 29th, we took 1/2 on each day on a cruse across Grahams Harbour. This is a huge harbor -- trianglar shape, having 3.6 miles height (N/S) and 4.2 mile base (E/W). . . . . . . .
Note "Co-"Captian Egbert adjusting the speed of the boat and recommending to Hilary the route to take.

This Cay has a large number of birds include many Boobies. . . . .

Other visitors to the Cay must have feed the Iguana because just holding my hand out attracted the Iguana. Just after this picture was taken, the Iguana jumped touched my hand.
