Up early to be at Minn’s to rent a motor boat for the day. I did some provisioning while David went to get the boat. Then we headed back to Kevali where the rest of the crew had prepped the pasta salad so it was ready for assembly like on a cooking show. We decided

It took us about 2 months to get here. Granted, we had places we stopped along the way, mostly because we wanted to see new places, other times because of weather. It took our new arrivals about 6 hours to get here from North Carolina. John suggested that next time we should consider taking a

We spent the morning repairing the ding on Fat Tuesday to cover the exposed fiber glass. The repair kit hardens in about an hour. We let it sit in the sun for awhile. We also arranged snorkel equipment with Tazan. He will deliver it by paddle-board. After lunch, we decided to take a take an

We thought it might stay windy but things seemed to calm a bit and we decided to check out the reefs on the Sound side. We launched Fat Tuesday and went to the St. Francis dinghy dock to walk across the island. The resort owner did not want us to walk across the property anymore

Errands and boat chores filled the morning as we planned spaghetti night on Josie for Jeff and Deb. Sand is difficult to keep out of the boat. A beach seems to be forming on Josie. It would be nice to have a washdown system in the cockpit. Our solar shower system may make this possible.

There was a moderate wind from the east, making the sound side a bit rough. Yet on the cruisers net, was a notice of a spearfishing expedition to be held at 1:00 pm. It was made by a young person for young people but we did not hear that part. David and Jeff were all

Started the day with some boat projects. We put our Bimini up for more cockpit shade. We called Jamal on Go 4 about refueling. He has a tank on his boat and can pump diesel to your boat. We needed about 20 gallons. He was very nice and can also bring water if needed. He

This is an amazing place, a beautiful playground. We are moored off the Chat +Chill restaurant which is nestled amongst the trees off a white sand beach. We are in blue water. Around us are other boats with toys: paddle boards, small sailing boats, kayaks. There are adults, kids and dogs. Started the morning with
