December 6, 2011





We took the dinghy over to Crab Cay, which is a small Cay just North of Green Turtle Cay. The winds were out of the East so we had an easy dinghy ride over there. The beach is beautiful white sand, and the water was shallow for quite a way off of the beach. Dahlia was able to explore on her own and she found tons of sea biscuits, small conch, and she even found a starfish to play with.
Deason and Chris went off towards the Southern end of the Cay and tried to swim around to the reefs, but the waves were still pretty rough on that side. We still have yet to catch any fish with our Hawaiian sling. Maybe tomorrow, the winds are supposed to turn more to the South. Hopefully, the seas will settle down on the East side of the island where all the reefs are and we can do some more snorkeling.
We ended up having to leave the beach rather abruptly, there appeared to be a small rain cell that was heading right over Green Turtle Cay, and we had left all of our hatches open. We had to hurry back. You would have thought that we would have learned that lesson by now, thankfully, the rain must have been more towards the South of us because the boat was completely dry.
On the way back Dahlia fell asleep again, so she had to stay behind while Deason and I went over to our new friends house to hang out. I will let him blog about that!
