Gettin outa Guana soon
... to clean a conch. I’m not so sure I will be attempting that any time soon.
So, tonight there seems to be a conch-off in the harbor. Sounds like some sort of mating ceremony, everyone blowing their conchs. We have learned a few things about conch blowing. First, the lips must be pursed, as in blowing a trumpet. One must blow gently, a forceful blow does not beget a better result. The blow hole must be properly honed. This requires ...
Man O War and Great Guana Cays

Still Anchored at Treasure Key
... chilly and gusty. The sea fascinated us today as we watched the breakers crashing on the horizon. The breakwaters were snow white against the ever changing blues of the ocean. Chad and I walked the beach to the north and found ourselves on a sandbar quite a distance from the shore. Another magical moment.
