Can you see the two blue fish in the picture that Chick took underwater today?

Happy Birthday Martha!!

For people who have not moved their boat in over a week we sure have been busy!! But we are all organized now - hauling and storing the boat was the biggie and finalizing our flights back to Canada. There are all these "ifs" to everything - kinda like chess - if we make this move than that will happen and that will mean this will happen and so it goes.

We are all set for Brenda to arrive tomorrow. She left PEI today, has an overnight in Toronto and then arrives here around 2:00. We have all been invited to our friends, Ian and Moyra, for dinner tomorrow as they head back to Canada on Friday and we will be on our way home when they come back.

We spent a wonderful day on the water with Ian and Moyra and two lovely daughters of friends of theirs from London on their 43ft. catamaran. We did some snorkeling - turtles (large ones) were the most exciting underwater creature to be seen, but the 2 blue fish in the picture were the most beautiful! Then it was a lovely lunch and home by 3. It was nice to sail on a big cat as we have not done so before and it was quite lovely to be guests on board and pampered by our hosts and to not have any of the responsibility making sure we did not hit a reef, etc. Ian, with the help of Mo, knew exactly what he was doing.

Our plan is to leave Jolly Harbor on Friday and do some short sails around Antigua. There are some very lovely places to anchor and snorkel and we plan to see a number of them. These are day sails of only a few hours so it will be very relaxing for everyone. This kind of sailing is referred to as "gunk-holing". Not sure why. After Brenda leaves we are back to Jolly Harbor to start packing up and dismantling the boat.

Chick and I wish our family and friends a Happy Easter. Enjoy your long weekend everyone! We have been shaking our heads when Easter is mentioned as it does not seem like that time of the year one bit!! But, I have a small turkey on board and unless it is desperately hot I plan to cook it Easter Sunday so that might help.

Thanks to everyone for you kind words after hearing we are sellin Great Habit - it was lovely to get them and we are glad to have been able to share our time aboard her this year with you all.
