While in Port Royal,it was great to see our friends Joe & Helen, who had arrived from Tarpon Springs aboard DeJaVu. Their friends Tom & Stanna are caretaking 'Casa Gusto', which is next to the Mango Creek Resort. I've never seen so many humingbirds upclose at one time---and big ones too! Tom & Stanna had house sat for the Bundy's years ago when they had sailed the west coast of Florida...we found out they know quite a few of our sailing club friends back in Gulf Harbors!
We've motor sailed to Guanaja; passing Barbaretta and the Pigeon Cays where we'd like to explore, but we decided to make our easting while the weather is somewhat cooperative. We're in Sandy Bay, El Bight, (N16.27, W085.52) where 6 other boats are hunkered down for the norther coming through this weekend. We took the dinghy to town, and got absolutely soaked coming back in the steep waves--waves crashing totally over the boat...the wind was howling. We laughed! The water was warm, the skies were blue...it's only water. We had a wonderful dinner at the Manatee, a German Restaurant - the one and ONLY place to go here. I enjoyed the visit from the black hawk that comes for a handout. A great place to meet other cruisers.
