Friends

We have had a great two weeks. First Neil and Linda came to visit and then Dave and Paulette were here for a week. We rented the "Coconut Cottage" which was very nice accommodations for 4 people and was close enough to Hope Town that we could walk to coffee every morning.

The wind blew too hard to snorkel while Dave and Paulette were here but we did get out for a nice sail to Man-Of-War Cay on Wednesday. I used this opportunity to demonstrate the shallowness of the Sea of Abaco by plowing a furrow with Summer Snow's keel. The crew reacted quickly and rolled in the jib as the captain cursed and screamed while dropping the main. We dragged onto the bar but powered off using sweat, tears, and our Yanmar Diesel. A pod of dolphins played around the boat while we were aground. They seemed to enjoy our predicament.

The winds would not die so we spend the next few days walking beautiful beaches and paths while finding new places to eat and relax.

Bev being here and having friends visit has been the highlight of my trip so far.
