Radio Silence

Sorry for the radio silence! We are now enjoying our visit with friend Susan from Toronto, and I won’t have much time for blogging until she leaves next Sunday. Since she arrived on Thursday evening, we’ve been hanging out in Elizabeth Harbour, enjoying the beaches and quiet here, now that the Regatta is over. We celebrated Jeff's birthday together with a home-made cake and a gift of his favourite tequila - 72 years young.

Yesterday we hiked to the monument and over the hill to the ocean beach – a favourite activity with guests. It was low tide, and we were able to sit in the warm tide pools formed by the coral heads – kind of like a lukewarm hot tub – with the waves smashing around us – what a treat. Jeff stayed at the boat and donned his snorkel gear to work on cleaning the algae off the boat bottom. I think we got the better deal!

We spent the afternoon reading (Susan), watercolour painting (me), and sipping Bahama Mamas (all of us), before a bar-b-que steak and veggie dinner. A perfect day in Paradise J.

Today we sail North – with a little wind. We were planning to go East to Cat Island, but the wind is on our nose, so it won’t work this time – too bad. We’re definitely at the mercy of the elements here. But we’ll still have a lovely time – Susan is easy about whatever we do, so that helps.

Still no pics – I have lovely ones on my cell phone, and some day I’ll figure out how to transfer them to this blog site.
