We woke this morning to zero wind. Almost unheard of. The water was like glass. All the boats had a full reflection in the water. There were clouds, sunrise colour, fog hovering in the trees on shore. We could look down at the bottom as clear as if there was no water at all. Perfect for sunrise paddle board. This harbor has some amazing upside down jellyfish. They sit on the bottom and the way their tentacles lay it looks like a beautiful flower. To see them floating they have lovely designs on their top – it’s mesmerizing to watch them.
The clouds brought an early rain storm which was perfect for hot tea and yummy pancakes for a lazy morning.
Rest of the day was chores – oil change in engine, some laptop work for Tina , discovering our 2nd anchor at the bottom of a deep lazarette (we will need it in coming anchorages in Exumas). Kids loved to help both up on deck and by crawling into chain locker accessed at the foot of our bed. Tested out the GoSun (solar oven) for a 3rd time – today with corn bread. It was delicious. 25mins and it was a perfect afternoon snack using no propane and more importantly not heating up the boat! A surprise reunion with Bliss late afternoon was fun then quiet dinner and kids off to bed on time.
Decisions decisions for us. Still undecided about tomorrow. Definitely leaving. A little anxious about how to far to commit to with engine not yet fully “tested” as well as dealing with winds and ensuring good anchorage at the end of a long day of sailing. You’ll have to wait for tomorrow’s update to see where we decide to go!
Fun Afloat
