We awoke to rain and gray skies. Our original plan to snorkel with the turtles was swapped out for fixing the electrical system which gave out and switching propane tanks so we could finish the eggs. Our boat is pretty old but also provides lots of opportunities to learn how to keep a boat in working order.

Then we reviewed and took the ASA 104 test which was rough but thankfully we all passed. Finally it was clear enough to snorkel by the reef which was amazing! All sorts of beautiful colorful fish and corals. It was phenomenal. Then we sailed about 1 1/2 hours to Union Island and pulled in to the most beautiful bay just as the sun was setting. Finally, it was quiet and the swim/shower in the ocean was peaceful.

Once ready, we rode the dinghy to shore and had the most amazing meal ever at Tim's place. There were just two shacks on this beach and only 10 boats in the bay. So it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Tim cooked up the most amazing family style meal of coconut curry conch, chicken legs and ribs, veggie rice, fresh coleslaw salad, fried plantains, garlic potatoes and Caravelle fish. Followed by a fried banana dessert. All enjoyed with my toes in the sand. I'm sad I didn't bring my camera ashore to photograph the amazing meal.
