As we left the harbour a ray jumped 4 feet out of the water and made a clean entrance back in \u2013 a perfect \u201c10\u201d dive. These are huge fish with amazing ability in the water. I was shocked!! I never imaged they could do this and I can\u2019t even speculate why they would do it, but I am glad I saw it.<\/p>\n<p>We motored down the Bahama Bank from Staniel Cay to Farmer\u2019s cut (20 miles) and then crossed over to the ocean side of the island chain for a 35 mile run to George Town. Near the entrance of the harbour there was a freighter run aground \u2013 sort of like finding a dead body as you enter a hospital emergency room. Any way all is well and we have a good anchorage on our very own sandy beach. Tomorrow we will explore George Town.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-804 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon
