Tuesday January 22nd.
I would say that it was another day in paradise, however , cool air, dark clouds and another front is moving across the islands bringing cold and rain with it. We are still exploring the area this time taking long walks. This morning we left the map on the boat. We discovered a lot of "trash" old, broken washing machines, cans, bottles, boxes,,tires just tossed to the side of the road. It really was sad, of course taking care of trash so far from land must be a huge undertaking.
We are on the largest Island in this group, approximately 7 miles long and 2 1/2 miles wide the terrain is rocky the highest point 80' above sea level. There are a lot of cars on this island as well as golf carts, but we decided on a second hike to find Sugar Beach and Shark creek. We finally figured out how to get to the beach and I collected some new shells. I can understand how the beach got its name, the sand is ultra fine like bakers sugar and just as sticky.
We saw the gathering storm clouds , walking quickly for our boat where we left the hatches open.
Recovering from our two excursions, I made cheesy garlic biscuits to take over for dinner with the Libby's. Jon made delicious conch fritters.
It is still suppose to be cool and windy tomorrow, I think it will be a day for boat chores.
