We stayed an extra day at Lee Stocking Island, Exumas so we could explore the abandoned research lab on the island and to look for reasonable snorkeling spots. We took the dinghy along the eastern shore of the island.

Because the weather was forecast to deteriorate, we decided to leave Conception Island and head back to George Town, Exumas and anchor again at Stocking Island. We had a nice sail but the wave did grow to be a bit large as the day progressed.

With a narrow weather window, we left Thompson Bay, Long Island to sail over to Conception Island. We could sail north along Long Island, but had to turn on the motor once we turn East around the north end of Long Island. We anchored in Conception and were the only boat at the entire island.

Back in Thompson Bay for 5 days on anchor in Flight Risk, I am counting 3 as dinghy "on the water days". We stayed on the boat during some big fronts and high winds, so no travel those days.
