Last day for Rob as he flies home tomorrow. We are moving a little slower today, but
remember to sign on to the Abacos cruisers net.
This is a social and information transfer on the VHF radio every morning
at 8:15. If you have questions you can
pose them to the hosts also so a good source of information. Work today is minimal. Dawson started by tackling the removal of the
inspection plate for the holding tank and lo and behold it came off. Nothing to see though as it is an almost full
tank. We will have to wait for the
hardware store to open and get that snake tomorrow. Julie tackles rust forming on the
stainless. A toothbrush and toothpaste
seem to do a wonderful job.
We spend the rest of the morning reading at leisure and head
into town for our hike in the opposite direction of yesterday by 11. We meet Bill, Judy and Bill Junior at the
marina and chat for 30 minutes or so.
They have an island packet which is similar to our boat, but a different
keel and a bit wider. Dawson preferred
the Calibers as they sail a bit faster than the Island Packets.

Our hike was out to John Cash point and although the flowers
were pretty and the blue’s and greens of the seas spectacular, it was fairly
uneventful. We planned on swimming, but
the salt water is just so sticky when you get out. It is quite hot as we hike along, but we
still resist going in for a dip. We do
meet a couple who have been snorkelling and they say they saw tons of colourful
fish and were very pumped about the
snorkelling and encouraged us to go.
Perhaps tomorrow that will make the list.
After about 3 hours of walking we make it to a restaurant
for a late lunch and then head back to the boat. Julie hangs her hammock chair and now feels
like she has arrived in leisure land. A
lazy afternoon is followed by a lazy evening.
Cheers
Julie and Dawson
Sounds like paradise!!!
