This week has been fun. On Saturday, mom and dad finished cleaning the bottom of the boat, then we went to town for lunch. We went to all the restaurants and all of them were closed except for the yacht club. 

Cette semaine était amusante. Samedi maman et papa ont fini le nettoyage du dessous du bateau et nous sommes allés au village pour le déjeuner. On est allé à tous les restaurants, mais seulement le yatch club était ouvert. 

On Sunday, we moved to a new anchorage called Cambridge Cay to meet up with our friends from Baja, Oceananigans. We went over to the beach with them and some of their friends, Kepler and Cosmic Connection, and had a fun time. On Monday, we snorkeled around a rock near the boat. We saw a few fish, and even a baby turtle. In the evening, we went to the beach again.

Dawn on Wednesday, May 7

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.

On Saturday, we were still in Palm Cay marina. Dad and I changed the engine oil, then we ate some food at the marina restaurant. 

Samedi on était encore au Plam Cay marina. Papa et moi avons changé l’huile du moteur et nous avons mangé de la nourriture au restaurant de la marina.

On Tuesday, April 29, after we finished our morning school/chores and were getting ready to leave Kosmos, it started raining hard — we did not want to be out in that kind of rain.

When it stopped, we checked all the rain forecasts to see if more was coming. They all said more rain, but conflicted with when it would hit and how hard. The clouds in the distance looked ominous, so we played it safe and stayed onboard for the whole day. It did indeed rain hard again, but not until the evening.

On Wednesday, it rained lightly in the early morning, but cleared up by mid-morning. After school and chores, we went to Thunderball Grotto. It was windy, and the ride over was a little bumpy and wet. 

We anchored near the Grotto entrance, got our gear on, and jumped in. We took this video because we thought the sound was funny. We had no idea that it was significant.
