We had a great plan. We would be at the laundry by 745 to start washing by 8 am when it opened. The sign at Lorraine’s said they would open for breakfast at 8 as well which sounded like a good activity while waiting for laundry. We loaded up and headed over. Not wanting to
It was windy today so we decided on hiking. Last year, we tried to hike from the Emerald Rock area to the office and lost the trail somewhere in the middle. Today we decided to try to get back there and then go see some ruins that we had never been to. We started out
We needed to do some planning but it was a beautiful morning. We took bikes to an overlook and did our planning there. The overlook view is off the ocean side and the long beach there where we swam yesterday. Tomorrow we will head to Allen’s Cay to see some rock iguanas. We will not

We left Black Point early to try and get to Warderick Wells and get a mooring ball. The North field was full but there were still balls available in the Emerald Rock area. There is little west protection here but it does offer some protection from the northwest and there are rocks, bars and islands

We got an early start on boat work. David successfully removed the starter motor after disconnecting all the power. We removed the solenoid from the motor and inspected it. It looked like the plates made good contact. Jeff came over to help. He brought a caliper tool and measured the gear on the new starter
The group had arranged to get a ride to Georgetown around 4. They were up early to pack as much into the last day as possible. We headed to the art trail and then across to the ocean side. David and Marina did a little snorkeling off the rocks but some locals were fishing on
