Yesterday we rented a van with our friends on S/V Slow Dancing (Paul and Susan) and the four of us (five if you count their little dog Mickey) drove to the northern end of Long Island to view the Columbus monument. The islanders debate whether Columbus initially landed in San Salvador or here. Either way the day was beautiful and so is the monument. From there we worked out way south viewing the various sights on the island, enjoying the sights and a chance to meet local people and see their way of life. We ate lunch at a roadside eatery, viewed some famous churches and got the land view of several places we may visit later on Sanctuary. The highlight of the trip was Dean's Blue Hole, a blue hole that measures over 600 feet deep where Free Divers practice their hobby diving to record depths under a single breath. I only dove down about 20 feet, certainly not a record, but it was a wonderous sight to see, and made for one of many memorable sights on this island.
