We had no lucking finding lobsters, but had the most amazing
full moon. The next day still determined
to find lobster we took the dingy out to a small rocky island. Nothing yet again. Although Preston was able to use his brand new
spear on a huge lionfish! Another one
down, now only 10 million to go. We gave
up on the lobster hunt for now and moved down the Staniel Cay, 5 miles
south. Perfect hour of sailing and this
time we pulled into the anchorage with the sails down determined not to bump
into one of our neighbors. I don’t think
our insurance covers multi-million dollar yachts. This is a very popular anchorage and it is
true that we will be sharing our backyard the next few years with everyone from
billionaires to people living “off the land”.
We had dinner over on a new friends boat last week at Norman’s Cay and
ended up passing them on our way to Staniel Cay. We talked over the radio for a while and the
next time we run into them I owe them a loaf of bread, because their oven
doesn’t get hotter than 300 degrees.
Anyway back to Staniel Cay. IT IS
AMAZING!!!! We are tucked into a well-protected bay with a sandy bottom, which
means the anchor holds very well.
Who's full moon was it?
ReplyDeleteHoly cats that lion fish is HUGE! I didn't know they could get that big. And just so you know...you are WAY too close to that shark for my comfort.
ReplyDeleteCan you even believe how big that lion fish was? I still can't get over it. Most of the ones we see are tiny. Tell Charlie that Preston loves to swim with the sharks and so far they have been really nice. Lets hope they continue to be friendly.
