The passage was boring.On Monday, we ate lunch at the local yacht club. The food was good. On the way back to Kosmos, we checked out this place called The Grotto, which is this cave you can snorkel in. It didn\u2019t look very interesting from the outside. Also on the way back to the boat we fed some pigs on the beach with carrots the previous visitors had dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_7542.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimanche on est parti \u00e0 un ancrage qui s\u2019appelle Staniel Cay. Le voyage \u00e9tait ennuyant. Lundi on a d\u00e9jeun\u00e9 au yacht club du village. La nourriture \u00e9tait bonne. Sur le chemin du retour au Kosmos on a vu un endroit qui s\u2019appelle le Grotto, qui est un grotte o\u00f9 tu peux plonger. \u00c7a n\u2019\u00e9tait pas tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant de l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur.

On Wednesday we snorkeled in the grotto. It was soooooo cool, there were tons of fish. We found a secret entrance to the outside that was under water, so dad and I went through that a few times. There was also another hole leading out of the grotto, but dad and I only did it once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6456-keith-and-eric-going-out-the-side-hole-of-the-grotto-trimmed.mov\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Exiting the cavern through the &#8220;side entrance,&#8221; located near the main entrance to the cavern<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mardi il a beaucoup plu donc on a rien fait.

On a trouv\u00e9 une entr\u00e9e secr\u00e8te qui allait \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur et qui \u00e9tait sous l\u2019eau, donc papa et moi l\u2019avons utilis\u00e9 plusieurs fois.

We had lunch at the yacht club, then went to two grocery store. However, the supply ship hadn\u2019t come and thus there weren\u2019t any eggs or fresh produce. On the way back we saw people feeding nurse sharks, which was cool.

Sur le chemin de retour au bateau on a vu des personnes donner de la nourriture aux requins nourrices, ce qui \u00e9tait chouette.
