Well the first night here and I thought we already lost Christian. I forgot to use my yeasr's of Buffett concert training and tell him to "pace yourself". No food and copias rum drinks is usually my specialty, but for Christian it led to slipping on the boat and popping out ...

In the morning, we watched some surfers catching the large breakers that wrap around the point into Cane Garden Bay. Mum, Pas and Keegan took the rubbish ashore. Pas tied off the dinghy with two clove hitches, but the movement of the dock was such that the dinghy came loose and started to float away. Keegan swam 25 meters to rescue ...

... Marin and I chatted.<br> <br> After the return of M&amp;P, we had a grazing lunch -- and Paul took a phone call on his Blackberry for work. Then we decided it was time to head for Marina Cay for the night. We tried sailing, but the wind was too light off our stern, and it was difficult to get much way-on.
