New Years at Highbourne Cay
01 January 2013
Yikes 2013 already!
Today we are sitting on the beach recovering from beach party/bonfire that lasted until 3 AM.
We got here a few days back after clearing in at Morgans Bluff. Got the time we asked for and the customs officials had not gotten word of changes that raised the cost of our cruising permit. $150 saved woo hoo.
Trip across the banks started out fine enough but ended poorly with thirty plus knot winds, broken davits and the loss of our new, used only one time Breathing Mobile Washer. That loss was due solely to stupidity. The Breathing Washer is a simple yet brilliant device for doing laundry in a five gallon bucket. It will be sorely missed. On a positive note, new watermaker is working like a champ.
Since we last visited Highbourne it seems to have become a megayacht playground. Last count there were eight. One had what appeared to be a spectacular candlelit beach party last night complete with fireworks.
