Aboard Dignity (Lagoon 420) Blog

Our flights aren’t until this afternoon so it’s a slow day of packing and getting rid of unwanted consumables. At the beginning of our trip we were given leftovers from other charterers. We will hand on what we have left. In total, we have cover 320 miles in Gato Chateau this trip. I have all the GPS tracks except for a section day 1 when the GPA switched itself off. I will be posting the tracks when I can get round to processing them (not today I think).

… later …

Home. Back home that usual feeling of never having been away creeps in. Some things feel different. Rooms feel a little bigger. The shower is intense. Time to sleep.

Our last full day began with Ben and I heading back to Willy T’s to see if we could find his tee-shirt that Ben had lost in the water the previous evening. We both saw the tee-shirt as soon as we jumped in and Ben was able to dive down and get it. There was no rush today as we did not have far to travel. Around 10:30 we motored about half a mile to a less windy mooring so we could grill the last burgers and a few sausages for lunch. Turned out to be not to bad a snorkeling spot as well.

After lunch we motored over to The Indians where we had our last dive. This was our final dip in the water. This was a great finale as the marine life was abundant. The whole area was inundated with bait fish with larger fish and herons having their fill.

The final sail back to Nanny Cay was less than 5 miles and was over very quickly. While we were sad this was the beginning of the end of our trip, we were all very much looking forward to the showers at Nanny Cay which were the best we’ve come across.

This morning we sailed to Cane Garden Bay. This was our longest leg of the trip to date. 21.7 miles which we accomplished in just under 3 hours – mooring to mooring. Cane Garden Bay was packed with escapees from two cruise ships but they inevitably had to leave. We ate ashore at Myatt’s. We were shown the food before it was cooked which was good. We were also told we could have combos which most of us did. What we didn’t realize was that the combos were basically two meals piled on top of each other and cost practically twice as much. We were well fed that night but the wallet wasn’t happy. That evening we had a lot of rain. We had to wait it out to return back to the boat and it meant we had to sleep with the ports shut. A stuffy night for all.
