After school and morning chores, we went snorkeling with the other families. Only the adults and some of the older kids came; most of the kids skipped it. Christi forgot her camera, and since the photos from snorkeling in Little Bell Cay and hadn’t come out, we decided not to make a special trip back to Kosmos to retrieve it.
Continue readingThis week has been fun. On Saturday, we stayed on the boat all day. We got the swim platform out and played with some of my friends on it. On Sunday, we moved from west Rock Sound to the eastern part. That spot was close enough to town for us to dingy there, so we ate at Wild Orchids.
Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi on est resté sur le bateau toute la journée. On a utilisé la plateforme de natation et joué avec mes amis dessus. Dimanche on a bouger de l’ouest de Rock Sound à l’est de Rock Sound. Cette endroit était proche du village, donc on pouvait utiliser le radeau pour aller au village, donc on a mangé à Wild Orchids.

This morning the lady from the park ranger station sang to us about the park rules and payment procedures again. We were planning to move again and we spent a fair amount of time discussing route. The fastest way to get there would have been to go up on the east side of the islands, but it was likely going to be uncomfortable in the ocean. We opted to take the west side, where the water was protected. Just as we had to circle the island to get into the anchorage, we had to circle the island to get back out.

When we got up, we were surprised to see that that all the boats were facing different directions. It means the wind and current were going different directions, and some boats were more pushed by the wind and others were more pushed by the current.

This morning, Eric put away all the dive gear. We keep the dive compressor and dive gear off to the side in our lazarette. The last few days, he’s had to twist in weird boat-yoga angles in order to access the gear, fill tanks the tanks, and now stow the dive gear. Eric’s back wasn’t feeling good, and his jaw/gums were still a bit sore.
Once the dive gear was stowed, we got the dinghy up and got Kosmos ready for sea. We lifted anchor at 1100. Our next destination was called Little Bell Cay. As the crow flies, it was a fairly short ride. However, due to shallow water, we couldn’t simply pull into the anchorage via the shortest route. We had to follow a relatively narrow channel south of the island, take the east side up to the northern tip, and enter via another narrow challenge on the north.
