Jan 21st, 2015 Tues.

     Well we found some damage to dingy on the underside from sliding it into the truck, nothing to bad and my handy husband had it patched up in a jiffy. Thanks to some sailing friends we met at Conception Island, they pulled our dingy back to the boat yesterday while the motor was being checked out. They even gave us some fresh mahi mahi they caught, a 90 lb one. I still have not managed to catch any fish! ahhh! So we gave them some ice and computer stuff for the help. We also met another sailing clan of 4 today of "True Delight", they were from Israel but with an american boat. They had tried to go to Cuba, but they were not allowed in because of the boat being purchased in America. They needed to borrow a jerry can for diesel and we had a large one for them to use.
So our motor was delivered back to us by the very sweet daughter and father. The have a family buisness that produces the Bahama calendar which he gave me several copies. We were very grateful for their help and reimbursed them for their time and good will. The motor worked fine at first, but didn't make it to the dock, so we will see. We need to change the gas, the guy who fixed it said there was no water in it. :}
     So we rented a jeep and took off for Dean's blue hole. Well it was fantastic, a must see if you are ever here! Just go by land. Its beautiful, a little erie at first The edges are full of coral and so many fish. I enjoyed just circling around the edges. We did dive down, Greg went the furthest, I went just far enough to say I did. :) We have pictures to post later.
     We met a lady from Rochester, Ny who loaned me a snorkel. We lost my snorkel too, but Greg was able to go back to the area today and he found the end of the paddle and my snorkel, no anchor though. Chopper was able to run the beach and pee, pee, pee. He did get to run around yesterday with some dogs on the beach. Greg calls chopper a land lubber. But all in all a great day.
     Tomorrow we are off to Crooked Island, if we had fair winds we may even do an over night and keep sailing to Turks and Caicos.
