Sunday: Norman’s Cay
Eldridge C, Meandering Joy, and Toucanne all took a walk together today. We didn’t explore anything exciting, just wandered around near the airport/airstrip for one last time together. Finally, the weather was looking better for Monday, so the St. Simons reunion was coming to an end. Eldridge C is heading to Nassau and then to the US, Meandering Joy & Toucanne are continuing our trips south.
We met at 4:00 for a photo at a beautiful small island. No one had been at the island for days and today as we arrived, several boats appeared. We got our picture though. LeeAnne and Rick invited us all over for dinner.
After our 4:00 photo shoot, we returned to MJ to meet with Eldridge C and Stella. They were both helping me to diagnose the problem with my SSB radio. Lucky for me they both helped to determine that our radio is persnickety when it comes to tuning in to a given frequency. Brian called out on the DoDah Net (look it up) and did a frequency tweak and we could hear. I still have trouble hearing Chris Parker in the mornings for weather, but when everything is going well, we can hear then net and make contact. Evie brought over some Conch Fritters to snack on during my lesson. Wow–were they good. Susie brought over a healthy trail mix that was also good.
Brian and Susie are on a sailboat and begged off early because they had a lot of work to prepare for their departure in the morning. They are hoping to stop in Stuart to take some time with their dog, Hannah since she is getting older and life on a boat is a little more taxing.
Before the sunset, we headed over for some lentil soup, home made bread and mango sorbet on Toucanne. It was a wonderful evening sharing stories from our travels and I am sure our laughter could be heard all across the water in Normans Cay. After hugs and kisses and promises to email and keep in touch, we all returned to our boats for the night.
