The Turning Point and Back in Commission (Sort Of!)


It looks like Staniel Cay is the turning point for our trip, we'll start off tomorrow heading north. Mixed emotions about that, in some ways we'd like to keep on going. The lifestyle is great, very relaxed, beautiful and certainly healthier for us. We're happy with the boat (although we've got a
nice list of projects for next year!) and we can live together comfortably in the space that we have. But in other ways, we're looking forward to getting home, seeing everyone and moving on to the next phase of this year's plan (oh, yes, the Red Book reminds us of all the other things we have coming up!).

Without an underwater camera, I couldn't take photos of Thunderball Cave, but here's a video to show what it looks like. Think there might be an underwater camera on the list for next year. There is so much to see down there!

We've been pretty quiet due to Steve's injury and are almost out of books (ohhhhh nooooooo, things are getting desperate!). Good news though! Steve is almost back in action! The back / sciatica are calming down. He's able to sit up for longer periods of time and we were able to go out to lunch yesterday! Took the dingy over to Staniel Cay and went to the yacht club
for a burger. It's still very weird driving the dingy over the sharks as we go to the dingy dock.

The other island across from Staniel Cay is called Big Major and I read online this morning that there are rather friendly pigs there. We've encountered pigs on our motorbike before, might be interesting to encounter them by boat. Have to see if Steve is interested in a little jaunt!
