January 16, 2009
Yesterday we dinghied to the northern part of Normans Cay with two couples in their dinghies and then walked the beaches up there where we came upon two guys, their kiteboards, dinghy and tents. They had a bottle of rum and were playing chess while sitting in lawn furniture they found in the trees. For food they were spear-fishing. Canadiens, they are everywhere down here.

We snorkeled one of the channels on the way back taking about six conch. They gave us a conch cleaning lesson on the beach and today Ann and I made conch salad and fritters. Ummmm! Ann says I need to reduce the number of finger peppers.

The wind is about 20K out of the NE and we are holding well in the sand. We may move south tomorrow staying in the lee of the islands. The weather is cloudy and cool (72, don't laugh we are used to hot days) so no one is too motivated to move anchorages if they are in a good one. We will need to do a book and movie exchange soon if this keeps up.

Ed and Ann- Thanks for including me in your current sail. It is fun to learn about the places you are going. Yes, snow is falling as we speak. Keep up the writing so the adventures you have can be seen and imagined by others. Tad
