and had a nice sail, mostly downwind, to Five Islands Bay where we
anchored off the Hermitage resort. The next day we motored around the
NW corner and threaded our way between reefs and small "islands" to
Jumby Bay.
Jumby Bay is directly across from the main runway of the airport so we
got some pretty big jets going over a few times each day. It's also a
very upscale resort (though still under construction) with rooms and
villas from $2,500 - $12,000 per day (including meals and liquor)! We
anchored off their beach and enjoyed the same view and water for
free! Pictures soon.
On Monday we picked up Caitlin at the airport and returned to Jumby
Bay. Tuesday we sailed down the east coast, with seas on the beam, to
Green Island. We spent 3 days at Ricketts Harbor swimming,
snorkeling, sleeping, eating and sipping sundowners. We also made a
dinghy excursion to Harmony Hall for a nice lunch and a bottle of
Ferrari Carano (Sonoma county).
On Friday we sailed around the SE corner to Falmouth and completed the
loop. We capped the week with dinner at Le Cap Horn restaurant to
celebrate Caitlin's 21st birthday.
Today Caitlin flew back to school and Fay went off to visit her sister
in Pittsburgh. Next week Lyman Morse will be here to so some further
warranty work and attend to a variety of problems, with a tilt to more
joinery and carpentry issues and less systems problems.
