We are staying in Nanny Cay Marina for several nights to provision and to allow Evan to finish his scuba certification. He is already asking if he can work here in college as a dive instructor. As always he is the glass half full guy and we love him for it. His dive master only dunked his head in a bucket of water twice on the ride back in today for his constant commentary. It is their custom to provide beer for the divers on the way back to shore, but Evan noted he preferred Honduran beer (SalvaVida).
Although we have many kinks to work out with equipment/etc., we did take our maiden voyage today to Peter Island. We tried a few sails, ran the engine, anchored using the windlass, and went for a short snorkel. Adam saw a turtle bigger then him.
The winds are heavier than normal for the BVI right now due to the storms up north, so we are not sure when we will leave for Saint Martin. Boyd's friend Matt is also here working on a boat and was hoping to meet us Friday night for dinner so we dont want to miss out on some adult conversation....22 counts for an adult right?
Highlight of today: Boyd backing the boat into our slip without hitting our friendly neighbors. (difficult in high winds) JK
jk- where we were in exuma was a cruiser harbor - over 300 boats. we met lots of people from all over the world and now "get" what you're doing. wish we could be part of your adult interaction.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the boat was as expected. Bet you'll have less "creatures" to contend with. Nice to see AK in a picture, hope his tummy is feeling better. Praying for good sailing weather.
ReplyDeleteJK-
ReplyDeleteWe were just talking about you in the office this week and how we miss you. Love checking the blog, especially the pics. Continue to stay safe.
