Did someone say party!

Dinghy raft up cocktail party.

Bring your own chair.

Add a little sunset and we're good to go.

So, there are seven of us yachties here in one of the more remote places in the world. What do we do? Dinghy party. How do you do that? Just before sunset, you make your favorite beverage, and a snack, jump in your dinghy and motor up into the shallows and throw out an anchor in about four feet of water over sand. Seven dinghies, 14 people sitting in their dinghies watching the sunset, drinking various boat drinks (in our case, Charismas of course) and telling stories of sailing daring do. Really fun.

Food wise, there was humus, popcorn, fresh baked bread, tahini, nachos. Yum!

We also went snorkeling today. We dinghied around the windward side of the island and inside the reef. It was a bit of an adventure getting there and back, but the snorkeling was fantastic. The water is exceptionally clear. We saw a white tip shark and tons of coral and the associated fish that congregate among the coral reef.

The wind was down today for a change and no squalls, so tonight we have unbelievable stars with no clouds in sight. Tomorrow is supposed to also be light wind before picking up again in a day or so, so we’re planning paddleboard adventure for the day and maybe some more snorkeling.

We’re getting some amazing pictures and can’t wait to post them when we’re back in “internet country”. The blue sky, turquoise water and incredible undersea world are fantastic. We’ll likely be here at least another week just enjoying being in a place this clean, clear and beautiful.

By the way, if you’re reading and enjoying this blog, let us know. It’s good to know whether anyone is following or whether we should just take a break and not post so often 😉

Adios for now.
