Time to go DOWN ISLAND!
So we had coffee and I made sure I could move my left leg & got out of there! We cruised outside, so we could pick up the weather channel on vhf.
There was no one in Alberts, so dropped the anchor in the middle. It was really nice out!
Time to go fishing, so supplied up and headed down to Blue Banks & Valley. No fish, but the coastline was very pretty.
Back to the big boat. The water temp ranged from 67 to 69 degrees so squeezed our bodies into our wetsuits, slid off the transom and explored along the cliffs. The water was pretty clear. We saw lots of little fish and a few opal eye. I went back to the boat to dry off (out?) and watch Jim.
We watched another boat come in and anchor behind us. The sun goes down early behind the cliff, so decided we better head to the beach while we still had sun. We put fresh supplies in the cooler and headed into "Tar Baby Beach"! There were so many globs of tar we could smell it! I showed Jim the fresh water spring behind the beach. It was amazing that I knew something about the islands that Jim didn't know about! We washed out feet and rinshed off a bit.
Back down the the beach for a beer and some "urine sample" (white wine that has been poured into a water bottle...) and playing on the beach.This is where we met Carmen Alberta (Miranda)!
Back to "Meerkat" for a swim / float in the almost 70 degree water!
We enjoyed some EOS Zinfandel for Happy Hour.
Jim looks like he is really having a "happy" Happy Hour! 
Then it was time to clean off all the globs of tar from "Tar Baby Beach" (a beach I don't need to go back to!)
Warmed up the leftover tri-trip and garlic bread and steamed some crab legs for dinner. The we sat in the cockpit and enjoyed the evening with candy bars! Did you know Abba Zabbas are "long lasting fun"? And here I had always thought they were more on the lines of "long lasting dental bills"...
Early to bed to read and sleep.
