Today, the rain finally abated in the early afternoon and everyone started to emerge from their cocoons. Our neighbours on the monohull beside us, Ann-Marie and Larry on Loafer’s Glory II, popped over to say hi. They are on route to Turks and Caicos and then Luperon on Dominican Republic, with the catamaran also in the anchorage, whose son has apparently already arrived before him but they have both been delayed by the weather. We exchange a few tips on places to visit etc before they head off to the shop. We decide to go for a snorkel, the water is an amazing aquamarine blue now the sun is out and it is like being in a swimming pool it is so shallow. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a swimming pool with little stinging jelly fish, but we still have a swim round. We see lots of pits dug by rays and Kevin saw one mdeium sized dark colour stringray but again I miss it, a large barracuda, some conch, sand dollar shells but little else. However it is lovely water clarity and we enjoy getting off the boat for a while.
Abrahams Bay - After
Later, we we are having a drink in the cockpit and Kevin spotted a round shape moving along beside the boat that appears to be a big ray. He is off again before we can get in, just came to torment me I think as I am really keen to see one and haven’t yet.
