The Lobster are calling!
14 May 2011 | Altair to Anegada's Shore in :60 or less...

We stopped to say hello to our neighbors who were full of info...first...wherever you make landfall, go around that big reef between our boats and shore! This is going to be very interesting.
That was Beth and Gary on Eagle's Wings...pilot cum sailor, we think. Then we landed at "Lobster Trap" heeding their wisdom of this special place and tied up to their dock...meeting Velma and Maxine who immediately welcomed us with huge smiles and warm charm. We continued on down the beach to Whispering Pines where we met met Charles...looked their menus too...fish and lobster, gotta love this place already! We carried on to Anegada Reef Hotel where we met Frances, who came here to work and fell in love with an Antegadian woman and stayed. Seafood and "lobster" on their menu...yep, this Anegada lobster is supposed to be very special so we'll just have to find out for ourselves we think. Finally we asked about the salt pond and are there still flamingos here?
We were told to "go back down the beach until we get to Neptune's Treasure...cut thru their property, cross the road to the path that leads to the salt pond! Just maybe you'll see some flamingos and maybe you see a donkey or two!
We only stopped briefly, but it was long enough to meet Grandpa Soares, Captain Fishy...daughter Charisa, Claudette and grandson Joe! This has been a very social time here at Anegada, but this salt pond speaks to us with the same reverence that our very own Everglades does.
We saw evidence of donkey...no sign of the flamingo...yet, which apparently flourished and fell in love with Anegada too! Soon come we hope!
