Day 178, Tuesday December 17th - a great dinghy ride

Day 178 Tuesday December 17th - a great dinghy ride

Woke up to enjoy another beautiful day.  The day of coarse started off with a coffee then Dawson paddle over for a run.

Once everyone was up we headed out for a dinghy ride along the west coast of Elbow Cay to Tahiti Beach which is located at the very south of island.  The dinghy ride was good as we were heading with the wind behind us and Ross and Blake each had a line out fishing.  It was also getting a good view of the vacation homes built along the shore.  It was about a 45 minute ride.


We had been to the beach previously but the tide was even lower this time showing a substantial beach/sandbar.  On landing Ross found 3 coconuts and started juggling, and managed a fairly good performance.  We spent the next 1.5 hours walking the beach look at the shells, starfish and snails, building sandcastles and tossing around a football. Ross found a large Conch which was trying to get back in the water while he was holding it, make for an excellent photo opp.  The ride back to the boat was a bit wetter than the ride to the beach.  We cannot get on step with 4 adults.  We did not catch anything unfortunately.

We headed into Captain Jacks for Taco Tuesday where we joined Cool Running and Blue Moon.  Back to the boat for some King's cribbage.  Ross and Blake were very bored with this game so we then played some euchre and we whooped them 10 nothing.

Cheers
Julie and Dawson
