Atlantic Passage

Had a great ‘mandatory fun’ day

I went snorkeling on the reefs this morning. We used the rescue boat and motored out to three different spots. The first spot was a bit too deep with a fairly big swell running so we moved to a second spot closer to shore which was nice. I haven’t used a mask, fins and a snorkel for probably 30 years or more so it took some getting used to. Once I got comfortable using them I was able to dive down and get a good look at all the multi coloured fish hiding around the bases of the coral mounds. The last place we went had a lot more coral of different kinds and consequently more varieties of fish. It was really cool!

In the afternoon I went ashore with David and wandered through the town. We then went back to the beach across from the ship and I snoozed under a tree on the beach for an hour or more.

This evening we had a BBQ on the ship and as I write this there is still a boisterous party on the welldeck

A lovely day in a lovely place.

Tomorrow we head North towards Anguila which will take several days as I understand it.

Here are some photos from my day in Maryeau.

So we finally got to go ashore, by we I mean the four new guys, Nick, Jay, Rich and me only to discover that the power was off in the city.  So much for getting this posted.

We went wandering around and had avery pleasant afternoon shopping for things like Jay´s rubber boots and an LED head lamp for me.  After a late afternoon meal of chicken Fajita´s in an American Kitch(chen) restaurant the power came back and I was able to get online only to discover that the PC in the Internet cafe won´t read my memory cards so… blah hand tyoig and no pictoires (sic).

Sorry I´ll try to do better in future
