April 15

Slow start to this beautiful day at Marsh Harbour.  We set off on bikes early to find a church/house.  We couldn’t tell if the building we were seeing atop a hill was a home or church, so we started out to explore.  As we headed up the hill, Steve stood up on his loaner bike to get up the hill.  The chain broke, but he didn’t get hurt.  He walked the bike back to the marina for another bike.  Riding into town is an adventure.  The roads are narrow and the cars drive very fast.  We have to continuously remind ourselves which way the cars are coming.  It is not a very pleasurable experience in town. 

After lunch we went snorkeling again.  We had the reef to ourselves.  Steve spotted a barracuda as soon as we got into the water.  I was still doing my backwards, try not to fall, walk into the water.  I used to consider myself a coordinated person.  Throw in fins, goggles, and snorkel and I become the most uncoordinated person on the planet.  Steve looks at me with pity in his eyes.

Lee and Lynn of Anejo returned to the marina late in the afternoon.  We enjoyed talking with them and again gleaning whatever we can from their experiences. 

After a snack supper we watched the news of the bombings in Boston.  Our prayers go out to everyone involved.
