Happy 35th Anniversary

Yep it's been 35 years. That's right Thirty Five years that we have been married. Who would have thought on that cool March 9th Saturday in Galion Ohio that we would be here off of a tropical island hunting sea glass, snorkeling, and hunting the every desirable Lobster - known as crawfish here.

Well Wayne and I had a great time snorkeling and hunting but tonight dinner will be a couple of frozen lobsters bought at Milos on Great Guana Cay a few weeks ago.

Karen has had a great day hunting Sea Glass, baking bread, and a cake to celebrate with tonight - the champagne will flow to the strings of Barry White. But maybe a game of Farkle and Mexican Train Dominoes with Jill and Wayne first.

This is place is great and mainly because the weather is soooo wonderful right now. Light and variable winds, flat seas, water is now 72 degrees, and we are near a full moon and the view is spectacular.

The water system continues to VEX me. This morning the flow for coffee nearly stopped and the pump did not come on. I just went and replaced a fuse and still it did not come on. A check of another faucet showed good pressure. A check of the nozzle on the kitchen faucet showed it clogged with tiny crystals --- Grrrr always something different. Once that was cleaned it is working pretty well but we are down to about 40 gallons so just another day here. Diesel is down 27 gallons too so it will
be time to head back to Marsh on Wednesday.

Damn - so many folks are heading back to the states already. The weather nets are full of folks planning trips back to the US. Today 3 boats left here and headed south to Eleuthera and we have seen at least 6 boats come through the channel here today coming up from Eleuthera!! We expect to stay at least another 2 weeks but might leave on the third week but I won't say anything more about leaving - we will enjoy this NOW.

Sorry no internet so no pictures to post but we are taking pictures here. Tomorrow I'll take a few underwater pictures at the reef.

CONGRATULATIONS
