January 19-20, 2016 Spanish Wells


Whimbrel - Sandpiper


Great Blue Heron




the school of all ages …


this island is very religious 




the only place that we saw had solar ..




this tug picture is for Norm Menary, GYC


a cat boat from Rhode Island, the skipper sailed it here a few years ago 
1,800 miles  … 26 ft and 10 ft beam, a real beauty


the sand flats  that will be behind our boat when the next storm hits us, which is Friday and Saturday


the dinghy dock .. everything looks good right ???  we are the furthest one




lumber being delivered to this island


I didn't get the best shot but they are loading cement blocks and commented that it is tricky to
position them properly so they don't shift during heavy seas


a local radio station


this is what we came back to after 2 hours ashore


another boater brought me to Modaki with all our supplies, then he went back and brought Janine and our dinghy .. and Dave and Joe brought our motor


this is the family that helped us … I gave little David a Shack Shack seed pod
this family is full time living on their boat and home schooling David


repairing our 4 inch seam opening … clothes pins, kitchen utensils and weights from my dive belt


we are also repairing a sliding door from one of the cupboards


this guy flew over us a few times .. he waves with his feet


Mike on Lagom, came to the last available mooring ball, since he is single handling, Alan, Joe and Dave went to get the mooring ball for him


the Amish women that came on the same barge that the truck was on in an earlier picture


we are heading off to the local fish man, for some lobster


some of the fishing boats 


we all got fresh lobster for $16 pound
another day coming to a close
there is a storm coming for two days, with winds during the Thunderstorms, of 70 knots
that is why we are on mooring balls .. they are a bit pricy at $25 night, but after the 40 knot winds and
2 of us dragging … we will pay the price
