Day 270, Wednesday March 19th - A calm day

Day 270, Wednesday March 19^th 

Lazy morning today, Julie slept in until 9, mainly because she was up a couple hours in the night most likely due to coffee and sorting through our own life decisions on where to work and live etc.  Once awake it was time for Rosetta Stone while Dawson went for his run. Today Dawson ran down the Queen's Highway along the coast to the south. 

Upon Dawson’s return, Julie decided to try her luck at still fishing and some casting as Lucy indicated they had caught their dinner for tonight this morning from the boat.  Julie sadly caught nothing, but perhaps it is not the fishes mealtime.  Tomorrow we will try earlier.

Location of snorkeling adventures

After lunch we head out with Maraki to go snorkeling just outside the cut.  The winds are low and it is absolutely beautiful.  The water clarity is great, and the limestone cliffs make a fabulous backdrop.  In the water we are treated to a fabulous coral garden and surrounded by literally millions of silver side fish.  The fish are small, and move together in hoards.  We felt like we were in a Jacques Cousteau movie with the fish moving all around us.  We went to 3 different sites all quite close to each other in the hopes of spearing dinner, but no luck.  Dawson sees some mackerels but they don't come very close. We sure enjoyed the scenery and exercise though.  After about 90 minutes we had enough and went back to the mothership to clean off the salt.

Bahamian Ambassadors to Canada house

After cleaning up we head into town to post some blogs.  We decide to try a different location and end up at the Twin Brothers.  Their claim to fame is ice daiquiris of which Julie orders a pina colada, it looks great and tastes better.  Unfortunately the internet is not working so once Dawson finishes his beer we head back to the Da Spot.  Another lesson that the dives are the best spots.  We set up our computer station and spend some time getting caught up on the blogs.  Interesting Julie arrives with her daiquiri, which is kind of weird but then the Barmaid has one delivered to her while she is serving us.

After we get caught up on the posting and Dawson listens to some stories from the local Crab Fishermen we head back to Jazzebelle for dinner, coffee and a game of Kings Cribbage.

Cheers

Dawson and Julie
