Saturday Update – Exploration of new places – March 2, 2019
With apologies to those in the path of winter storms…. today was HOT. There may be a “cold” front on Wednesday due to bring wind and perhaps rain, but you wouldn’t know it today. Almost cloudless skies and light winds resulted in more swimming than usual and we found ourselves hiding from baking hot sun at lunch. We found it amusing (foreboding?!) to be booking return flights home this morning and be waiting extra time on hold with the airlines due to winter weather delays.
We explored the south side of Staniel Cay by dinghy, an area we’d never been to before. We found isolated beaches and good coral reefs for snorkeling near Staniel – even found another plane inhabited by fish in just a few feet of water. Back near Amel, we made it to shore under human power, with the boys swimming and the girls paddle boarding. We found a new beach also full of iguanas, this time under stunning white cliffs.
Sunset brought yet another tasty dinner from Tina, another green flash and another round of the conch horn. This time all 4 of us gave the conch horn a try for a change – luckily there was only one other boat nearby!!
PS Tonite’s post was brought to you entirely by Mike giving Tina the evening off (or rather time to work on flight issues….!).
