May 28th... Manjack Cay

According to Chris Parker, the unsettled weather will move out of this area sometime around next Tuesday. Until then we will have a mix of sun and squalls. Our plan is to work our way up to the very northern Bahamas and head back to the States from there.

After coffee Kathy worked on posting the blog while I puttered and read. We loaded up the dinghy with snorkeling gear and headed over to the ocean. On the way we found some conch and stopped at a beach for some palm fronds.

We motored out to the reef which was a mile or so from shore. The snorkeling was excellent. I missed a nice grouper and saw lots of nice fish. We were both ready for lunch so didn't stay too long.

On the other side of the cut there was quite a bit of wind. We got wet getting back to the boat. After rinsing off and eating a conch salad for lunch, we spent the afternoon reading. The wind died down and the evening was very pleasant.
