We’re having a nice bit of real Island Time. Our solitude did not last that long though. Within minutes of my last blog three boats showed up. We have the one and only spot where you can swim to the island. Given the nature of the reef which is almost in line with the wind and current one has to find a sandy rise off the reef to drop the anchor that is far enough from the reef so that you won’t swing into it. Our spot is perfect as of our starboard the sea bed rises up to sand with the reef ahead and behind us. If we did swing we’d bump into the beach. The next available spots are some distance so the other boats are not too close and they have to come in via dinghy. One of the boats left before dark.
In the early afternoon we had a brief snorkel then walked the beach. While snorkeling we spotted a lobster in only 4 feet of water. That was a surprise as normally we find them only in deeper water. Maybe it’s because we’re out of season and they can be bolder and get away with it.
Back on the boat it was sleeping and reading for a while before we made bread and cake. We finished the day by watching “There Will be Blood” – a very interesting movie.
Today will be washing day and we’ll stay around here until at least tomorrow – maybe Thursday. It’s nice being off the net and being disconnected for a while.
