The moon was still shining brightly shortly before dawn on Friday, March 6, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There wasn’t much of a sunrise due to the cloud cover, but the sky did get colorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, while Christi and Keith did school, Eric worked on cleaning the bottom of the boat some more<\/a>. He pooped out before he’d completely finished, but it was mostly done — just a little more to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a family boat in the anchorage that we’d met back in Rudder Cay<\/a> named March Dragon. They invited us and Driftwood<\/a> over to their boat this afternoon for cookies and cards. We really hit it off with them and had a great time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, Keith went over to Traveler<\/a> to hang out with some of the other kids. Christi and Eric enjoyed a quiet night alone onboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, Jake from Driftwood and the dad and kids from March Dragon came over. Eric and Keith taught them to play D & D. In the evening, Eric and Keith went over to Traveler after dinner, where the adults played cards and the kids played D & D. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, the time changed. It seemed like losing an hour shouldn’t have affected us that much, but we all felt a bit off-kilter all day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early afternoon, Eric & Keith went over to March Dragon to play D & D. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 1630, the teens all got together on the beach. Tiki Tour<\/a> had anchored over by Staniel Cay earlier in the day, and the Tiki kids came, too. It was nice to see them again. If we counted correctly, there were 10 teens and somehow they all managed to get on that small platform at once to wrestle one another. And some of those boys were big! There were only two girls, but the girls held their own pretty well. They had a blast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the kids wrestled, the adults hung out on the beach and talked. Everyone left before sunset because the kids were tired and hungry from all the exercise. In the evening, we had a quiet night aboard. It was a colorful dusk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
