We wasted most of the morning reading but eventually got going and packed up some dirty clothes and our computers. Ida was out so we had to hike down to Adderley's market to purchase tokens for the washers and drivers. I left Kathy to load the washers and hiked down to Lorraine's to plug in the computer and get some work accomplished.
Jim, Nancy, and Steve were there already, as were two other couples. Kathy joined us when the laundry was done and we all had a late lunch before returning to the boat to make some water and read.
With such a late lunch we really were not up for and dinner but did snack a little as we read and finally watched an episode of "Dexter."

After a great bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, Steve came over to go hunting. The water was flat. We drove around at full speed in the dinghy watching the bottom for coral heads and rocks to check out. Most of our time was spent searching, but we did do quite a bit of snorkeling. We saw a few grouper and other fish but didn't end up shooting anything.
When we returned around noon, Kathy had been in contact with Jim and Nancy of "Solitaire" on the VHF who were motoring south to join us. We decided to call them back and meet them in Black Point.
We got the anchor up a little after noon and motored the 7 miles north to Black Point and dropped the hook just ahead of "Solitaire".
After arriving, anchoring and getting the boat squared away we dinghied over for a visit. As we arrived Jim and Nancy appeared wearing Santa hats...we thought they may be pushing things but a moment later, Nancy went down to the cabin and popped out with Christmas gifts for us from home.
We ended up spending most of the afternoon with them and were joined by Steve, and then Chirs and Ann from "Mr. Mac."
After snacking all afternoon we really we not very hungry and spent the evening reading.
