I haven’t shared our morning breakfast routine yet. After we turn my bed back into a table we all gather around. Bill makes the coffee with his ever faithful French Press, I eat my banana (all gone now) and bagels, English muffins and bread get toasted in our 4 slot toaster. Peanut butter, butter and jelly gets spread over everything. We’ve got a handful of Cuties and yogurt left we’ll have to work on tomorrow, our last breakfast aboard.
We had more good sailing towards the Bight today with 15 to 20 knot winds. When the auto steering acted up Cap’n Steve asked me to take the helm as we coursed towards the Indians. I’m a distant second to a functioning auto steer but I enjoyed it.
Our fairly short sail today was broken up by a midday stop at the “Indians”, a group of sharp and protruding outcroppings just off Pelican Island, a tiny spot of an Island in the Caribbean. We ate great chicken salad made by Jimmy, and some other left overs. We’re trying to eat what we can before we have to throw it all away tomorrow when we bring the Reventador II in. John said it was the best snorkeling on the trip, excepting the quarter sized jellyfish drifting by.
Back to Willy T’s, a floating bar that only exists for people like us, sailors that like an adult beverage on a boat.
Our second round of Painkillers, Wiltsch begged off for a Carib beer, silly boy.
Willy T’s, creating mariner memories for over 30 years. Many of the younger folk were jumping off the 2nd floor deck, just like we had done years ago, maybe even naked, but not today!
I don’t know why, but pretty women from England are always asking if Steve and I will consent to letting them have their picture taken with us. Of course we never so no, we’re too kind for that. Actually I told them it would be the high point of our trip if we could get a picture with them. They were soooo drunk and filled with pity.
We haven’t yet gone back ashore from Willy T’s for our dinner at Pirates Bight, but as we rested on our boats cockpit, I thought this might be my last blog edit for the day….
Okay, 2 more photos, our excellent beach side restaurant “The Pirates Bight” with fish from the sea and baby back ribs.
Lastly, but not leastly, a dinghy full of dingy’s headed back to our boat to settle our food and enjoy a night’s sleep on the mild waves and breeze of The Bight.
