Friday, May 12 - Wednesday, May 17, 2006
We had a great visit with Katie and her boyfriend, Eric. They arrived at Marsh Harbour airport late Friday afternoon. Saturday morning we sailed to Baker’s Bay on Great Guana Cay. Baker’s Bay is an isolated anchorage and we dinghied over to Spoil Cay to go shelling then enjoyed the sunset with a speidi BBQ, discovering that Eric is a natural conch horn blower. Sunday morning to celebrate Tom’s 50th birthday, we sailed to Fisher’s Bay, also on Great Guana Cay where we snorkeled, attended the afternoon pig roast at Nipper’s Bar and Grill. We then enjoyed Sunset Grabbers and the sunset at the Sunset Beach Bar (a little shack with a pool on the beach). Monday’s sail brought us to Hope Town on Elbow Cay where we snorkeled, walked the beach and explored the island. On Tuesday we awoke to yet another front causing squalls with winds of 58 knots and heavy rain. Dodging rain showers, the day’s activities including a visit to the Hope Town lighthouse and ending with dinner at Captain Jack’s. Wednesday morning we headed to Marsh Harbour airport via the Hope Town ferry. After an hours delay due to storms in Florida, Katie and Eric departed and are off to New Jersey and then up to Vermont to visit Rebecca and George.
