Just another day in paradise

Weather report, beautiful sunny day with light winds from the east and relatively calm seas.
We pull up the anchor early and motor out of Leverick Bay to our first stop, Savanna Bay. We motor through the reef and drop the hook and in the water to snorkel around the coral and walk the mile long beach.The kids finally wake up, it is 11:30 AM. Brenda found another treasure and I found a frisbee on the bottom of the sea, score! Back to ITW we pull up anchor, unfurl the genoa and motor sail the short 3 NM to Fallen Jerusalem to snorkel some more and climb around the boulders. As we pull into the small bay there are only two mooring balls with boats tied up, we see our new friends from Arkansas that we met in Anegada and again in Leverick Bay so we pull along side and raft up with their cat. A couple hours of climbing around and snorkeling in one of our favorite spots, very kewl.
We say good bye to Fallen Jerusalem and motor sail the short 6 NM to Great Harbour Peter Island. We drop the hook in 20' of water just a 100 feet from the cliffs. It seems like we are dragging the anchor so I snorkel down and sure enough it is on its side, so I dig the point in the sand and have Brenda back up ITW to dig it in, we are now set. We snorkel around the coral for a while and I soon here a shriek and Brenda is racing back to the boat. Come to find out she saw a fish bigger than her and it got her adrenaline going!
I grill up some great pork chops that we purchased at The Chef's Pantry, a great grocery store at Leverick Bay and we all enjoyed an awesome dinner as the sun was setting. Another episode of NCIS, Sami is finally hooked now and another perfect day in paradise comes to a close.
