Coral Garden

October 3

Weather guesser finally scored with bad news. Abetted by surrounding island, wind has eased to make new anchorage virtually calm. This is not a good thing as wind generator gets lazy, fans get work and numerous boats meander about over 60 foot bottom.

Returned movie-dense hard drive to Inspiration Lady (first met in Turks and Caicos early last year) and bid them farewell until somewhere, sometime in New Zealand. Now have a plethora of movies to accompany superfluity of electronic books for entertainment into twenty second century. Any panic yet for Y3K bug?

Friend and I took his kayak through reef generated surf to snorkel in a big surge between islands. Mostly small fish, but observed big, colorful, healthy coral and a really cool octopus. Going was wet, coming back a sleigh ride.

Showing of classic "Captain Ron" was organized for tonight on 50 foot cat with big flat screen and surround sound (explain again why catamarans are not real sailboats?), but Ron rookies couldn't make it so Ronathon has been rescheduled.

Tomorrow's program, besides screwing off, will include climbing big honkin' banyan tree just off adjacent beach. Splints, tape and slings, held in abeyance.
