After our evening in the construction site that is Money Bay, I think we were all a little sad. For the guests as well, it was a bit of paradise lost! More fun to come though, I was surprised to look out the galley hatch and see the anchors coming up by hand...

You may ask why the anchors were coming up by hand, and a good guess would be windlass problems, but that would be wrong. the construction has changed the ecology of the Bay so much, it was absolutely choaked with green algae that built up all over our chain just over night!

We did a motor sail up to the RHONE to go for our last dive on there, and in the group jumped.

They did not expect to see me down there, as I had not mentioned I was going in, but I wanted to get a few pictures. Here is the condenser...

and a nice little file fish...

a nice hog fish..

Mostly I felt like a photographer on a cruise line as I waited at the exit to all the swim throughs to get pictures!

Here are some nice fish...

And the SimSim I think wanted to give me other fingers, not the ones he had up here!

The girls were all nice and waved...

The couples held hands and i took pictures

I quite giggle as we see the dive guide in the back ground sitting patiently in the background keeping an eye on all his baby ducks!

Then it was over to Deadmans Bay on Peter Island for a couple hours beach and bar time. We had talked about staying there last night, but up by the beach I was getting a lot of flies from the dump across the island and this year I have decided that I will not stay in the anchorages that/when have the bad fly problems as it just drives us all crazy. Plus there is too many other good anchorages around!!! Off we went to Great Harbour around the corner and we had no flies! It was slide show night and we had pictures from the last 3-4 trips the group had done on the boat so we all piled in the saloon to watch those....

We had another birthday tonight, a young lady turning 29! (hmmmm)

I had made them nice homemade buns yesterday which they loved and this morning, I ran out of time and gave them store bought buns for their burgers at lunch, that we all thought were horrible. To make up for it I made homemade vanilla AND chocolate ice cream for dinner tonight... Not sure it totally made up for it but the ice cream was good anyways!
