S/V Lorian's anchor chain breaks. A $500 anchor sitting in 10 feet of water deserves a search. A serious search. Between Craig on scuba gear and Lori/Ian searching with the dinghy and a look bucket (a 5 gallon bucket with a clear acrylic bottom), the anchor is rescued from the depths and we are on our way.
You are here.
The anchorage is actually a mooring field, unique with a deep, horse-shoe shaped channel around shallow flats.
This is a sugar feeding frenzy. They are licking granulated sugar from my hand.
This island has much to offer in the way of snorkeling and hiking. We take off on a hiking adventure.
First stop, BooBoo Hill, which got its name from the sounds of the ghosts of those who have died in hurricanes and ship wrecks.
The mooring field from the top of BooBoo Hill, and standing on the edge of the blow holes.
Cruisers leave driftwood artifacts at the top of BooBoo Hill for good luck.
We will stay here an extra day and will spend tomorrow exploring by dinghy and snorkel. Then we will proceed southward through the park islands, slowly making our way to Georgetown, where we will pick up Skip and cruise over to the Dominican Republic.

Wow - we were starting to get cabin fever and need of therapy because we had no new adventures! I'm a Starbucks "victim" as well but around these parts, we refer to them as Four Bucks because you can't get any stinkin' thing under - you guessed it - four bucks.
You gotta email us your alleged itenerary because we want to hook up and catch up with you!

Just thought I'd give you a little state side update... G&M are motoring to Tampa in their new Pilot. G seems to like it alot more than the last one. They plan to stay till Sunday then head back to Tally. Springtime was a little quieter than usual due to the constant deluge of rain- although it did break long enough for the parade festivities.
Seeing the pix of the blowhole- made me think of a scene out of the movie "Fools Gold"...now if you just jump straight down into the hole- you'll find billions and billions in treasure :)
Have fun and travel safe-
Remaining pea green with envy!
