We finally left Spanish Wells, unfortunately without the part. It didn't arrive today, so Greg had the post office return to sender once it arrives. Everyone and I mean everyone is very friendly in Spanish Wells. Not many dogs around so Chopper got his just attention.
Andre' and Tanya will be coming to see us in St Croix on the 15th of Feb. so we need to get moving. There is a cut through the island called the Current Cut between Current Island and Eleurthera . I was having a slight panic attack reading about the entrance, strong current , rocks, breakers, and its narrow. But luckily Greg got us through it, he assured me it would be fine, the wind was at our back and the current was with us, so we went through it like butter. The water looked even clearer on this side of the islands, much more turquoise. Still hoping we get to a nice spot to dive. The snorkeling has been a little disappointing so far, spoiled from diving and snorkeling in the BVI's. Maybe we just are not far enough south yet, or not in the right places.
It was windy and wavy today, a cold front is moving in. We made it to Hatchet Bay tonight by 4:30 or so. There are free mooring balls here placed by the government, nice! I took a few pictures coming in to the channel , which was said to be 90 feet wide, well it didn't look like it. EEEK
We are getting more comfortable about mooring and anchoring. Greg has been doing the mooring balls, so I drive when he does that. He only had to come back once this time to help me steer. :}
So after a dinner of grouper, peas and sweet potatoes, we are doing fine.
