Up and at em. A few
errands on the agenda and a run for Dawson.
Dave decides he will join Dawson for the run while Julie and Sue head to
the Grocers. We dinghy to an abandoned
pink coloured resort where the books say we can access the road to the grocers which is about a 10 minute
walk. The 4 of us stay together until
the grocers has been found. The runners
head off and Sue and Julie peruse the store.
It is adequately stocked, and clean.
Unfortunately the mail boat that brings in supplies is due tomorrow so
the freshest stuff is probably a week old.
The broccoli still looks excellent, but Julie takes a pass on other
fresh stuff except some limes. We are
able to get real milk and resupply our UHT emergency supply with our preferred
1% parmalat so that is good.

| Dawson Barbequing Mahi for all of us |
We grab a couple bottles of wine as Sue and Dave are coming
for dinner to share in the Mahi catch.
On the way back to the boat Julie grabs some coconuts so we have fresh
snacks, and coconut water. Julie is
going to try to make Sky Juice which is a gin based drink offered at the Santa
Maria resort on Long island.
Back at the boat we decide to reanchor about 3 miles south
as the south winds are building and there will be better protection. Our existing spot at New Bight is starting to
get lumpy. The move takes about an hour
but is well worth it as there is very little movement down here.
It is now about 3:30 but still time to fit in a snorkel. Dave and Sue have marked a spot on their GPS
so we follow them out about a mile and have a great snorkel. It does not compare to the snorkelling we
have done in the nature parks here, but
it is one of the best outside of the parks.
There are lots of corals, and fish, but no lobster is seen. Darn!

On our way back we go to shore and husk the 3 coconuts. Dave and Sue have another 2 to husk. It is a bit of work, but Dawson has a process that has been working well so
in about 20 minutes we have our fresh stash of coconut.
Dinner is wonderful.
The company is great. Sue and
Dave sure make us giggle. Love the sense
of humour. We teach them how to play
king’s cribbage and then call it a night.
Cheers
Julie and Dawson
