Tonight marks the first night we will no longer stay on the boat and it’s quite a surreal feeling. We have the delivery captain coming in the morning to take the boat back to Florida and we’re staying two nights on the island before heading back on Wednesday.
Today we checked out the second snorkeling location that we found on our scouting adventure last week. This spot didn’t have as much coral, sponges or sea fans…. but it had a ton of fish. Most of the fish are pretty small, and we always see the same types.
To all our loyal readers… we’re sorry we’ve been MIA the last couple days. We’ve been busy laying on the beach, so we haven’t had much to post. Over the last couple days we also finalized a new plan for getting home. To get home requires
We had been scouting out some areas around the island for snorkeling. Our scouting method involves Braden driving the dinghy while I stick my head underwater over the front. Its been very effective in locating two snorkeling locations without us having to get in and out of the dinghy. So
Black Point is an island about 7 miles south of where we are. Its a popular stop for boaters because of Lorraine’s Cafe, where Lorraine’s mom makes coconut bread. We were a little disappointed because we’re not going to make it down there and will miss out
The pizzas here are really good. Thin crust. Lots of toppings. Delicious! Thursdays have become one of our favorite days on the island because they are 2 for 1 pizza day.
When we first started on this trip we noticed right away that people living on their boat are usually in bed between 9 PM and 10 PM every night. If you’re not at a marina with access to power or cable tv there really isn’t much to do
This was the one thing on our list of must see things that only Braden really wanted to do. Swimming into a cave just really isn’t up my alley. Today we did it… and it was awesome! Below is the entrance… above and below water. There are fish everywhere,
We went back again to visit the swimming pigs. Today there were two of them and they dined on apples ( last time it was old blueberry muffins and bread ). We’ve heard from several people that if they can stand they will try to get in the dinghy with you.
We haven’t really done much of interest in the last two days… so there hasn’t been anything to post. Today we ventured out in the dinghy to check around some of the rocks near the island for cool places to snorkel. We found one place that we are
This morning was rainy, windy and cloudy. By the time it cleared up it was almost noon, so we just took the dingy over to the beach across the way. There was an opening that lead to a really rocky path around to the other side of the island. We
We took a dinghy ride over to Big Majors this morning to check out the pigs. There were two very large pigs on the beach with 3 or 4 babies. The third pig came from the woods and was apparently hungry because it came right out to our dinghy. He
