A hike around the Bill Baggs St Park gave us a good bit of exercise. We picked up a few coconuts and Jim is working hard at getting one open. Sure is a lot of stuff under the husk. The one in his L hand started out the same size as the one in his R. Not many boats in the harbor today.

There will be a few more tomorrow. Most of the ones anchored outside will be coming in for the day. They are planning Christmas dinner at one of the pavillions.

We managed to con Jim into another walk into town. We found the ACE Hardware but they didnt have any butane for our stove. The alcohol stove has been doing a good job but the butane is hotter. Then we found the bike store. Jim and I are looking for folding bikes. The owner said he could order them and they’d be here tomorrow…well..maybe not till Fri because of the holiday…to me that meant we’d be sitting here till next week so we passed on them. Maybe we can find a couple of used ones. Then a quick stop at the Winn-Dixie..Larry needed a few items but we didnt need anything…still ended up with 2 bags each.

After lunch we took the dingy and went Iguana hunting. I think we found the 4 footer. He sat on these Mangrove roots and posed for us. They really have some beautiful color. I didnt get all his tail in this picture.

Not too many boats in here and 4 or 5 large sailboats anchored outside the entrance. I think the restaurant is closed until after Christmas so it should be pretty peaceful for a couple of days. We’ll spend Christmas here and then decide whether we are going N or S.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! We pray the New Year will bring good health and prosperity to all. God Bless

12.22.08 pretty windy so still at No Name

We walked Raisin and filled another 8 jugs for the fresh water tank. We thought we might be heading S but the weather report is listing a small craft warning this afternoon…and not having a good anchorage to head for we decided to hang out here.

Our batteries needed a good charge so the 4 of us took Slow Motion for a ride into the bay for a couple of hours. By the time we were heading back the waves were starting to kick up pretty good and we were happy with our decision not to leave.
