Day 4

Day 4
Up about 6 – when is this sleeping in thing going to start? Coffee first, then household chores are in order. We always wonder how Izzy and Jeff’s boat always looks like the maid was just there. That is NOT the case here, but we are slowly settling into a routine. About 9 this morning we were approached by 2 Bahamian fisherman in their skiff. They proffered a bag of fish and a bag of conch and claimed to need 2 gallons of gas to get back home to Guana Cay. We obliged them and then they just needed a beer or a water. We again obliged them! This is the point where we start keeping a few Busch’s in the cooler so we don’t give away the Beck’s!

After the housekeeping was done and Harold repaired a hose and clamp on the fresh water system (a day without a repair is like a day without sunshine!), we totally sat of the aft deck and read books all afternoon! How peaceful!! About 4 pm two more boats came into the anchorage. One sailboat, a 50’ Beneteau, and a much larger than us motor yacht. We hailed them and the sailboat answered. They are the same people we were anchored near at Great Sale Key, Steve and Alice. We made plans to go try and find the ruins by dinghy in the morning.

The snapper that we got this morning went on the grill and it was DELICIOUS! After another early bedtime, we were once again awakened at midnight by pounding rain. We spent an hour in the glow of the radar before we went back to bed. This has got to stop!
