We moved again yesterday due to the sloppy anchorage at Miradiadup and motor sailed 6 miles west to the Lemon Cays. Steve gave me a call after we anchored and told me we were anchored about 30 ft from where they were struck by lightning a year ago causing $65,000 dollars in damage! Its a much calmer spot than our previous anchorage but also very popular and I think there is around 30 boats anchored here. There is supposed to be a potluck and bonfire on the beach tonight for a new years celebration, which should be fun. We met a guy on the beach last night that is here visiting his parents and he just started working for Accenture, which is a company I worked for waaaaay back in the day.

Last night we went on to the island for a BBQ over a fire with Better Days, Wondering Star and Desdemona and had a great meal and lots of laughs. Phil from Wondering Star has an endless amount of entertaining stories to tell so there is never a dull moment.

Happy New Year to everyone. Hope its a good one. 2011 is a big year for us as it will be the last year of cruising for us. Once we are done with our Peru trip will have to figure out where we will go to sell Five Islands :(
