I took the photo used for the header image. It shows the USCGC PEA ISLAND’s cutter small boat, transiting southward just off the east coast of Anguilla Cay. Anguilla Cay is the eastern most island of Cay Sal Bank, part of the Bahamas, which is located about mid way between Cuba and the Florida Keys. Back in 2008 when I took this photo, Cay Sal was a commonly used stopping point for Cuban migrants trying to make their way to US soil. We went ashore not only for a chance to explore, but also to look for evidence of recent migrant activity. I loved this photo because of the turquoise waters.
