No one swings into anyone else in strong steady winds, but clocking winds or light & variable, look out. This morning the Catana anchored near by had its port quarter bouncing off of the Lagoon's starboard bow in 4 knots of breeze. Folks were running around on deck with croissants in one hand and fenders in the other. The Lagoon let out a bunch of chain and motored back to allow everyone to get back to breakfast.

Hideko and I went ashore for lunch at Palm Island. We were going to swim but we decided to go for a slightly more presentable approach and took the dinghy. The resort is full of natural beauty and they keep the man made stuff simple, which works wonderfully. The food is not bad and the prices are high but not stratospheric.

When we returned to Swingin' on a Star I realized I had left my camera. After we had the dinghy stowed. So much for presentable. It was a nice swim to the beach anyway.

We sailed down to Cariacou with a perfect 15 knot breeze covering the 8 miles in about an hour. We anchored in Hillsborough Bay near customs. The Bay is beautiful with one rocky and one sandy island and lots of beautiful beach. The water is exquisite and the hills are covered in lush greenery.

It was getting late in the day so we used a halyard to swing into the ocean for a cooling swim in the clear water. Hideko checked the anchor and we retired to the boat for dinner and some Star Trek.
