last day and night

Guests:Ryan & Lisa, Chris & Ali
It is Friday and we are on our way back to Nassau. Yesterday we went into the "Staniel Cay Yacht Club" next to the "Happy People Marina" and had lunch while Captain Mark hooked up with the internet and took care of some business. The guys played pool while the girls soaked up the sun. We went up the river a little ways in the dingy to a little store looking for a few things that Captain Mark needed then headed back to the Stray Cat. We then sailed up the "Pipe" and it was breathtaking. The water was the most absolutely gorgeous blue we had ever seen. We found a little hidey hole that we shared with a couple other sailors and dropped anchor. Captain Mark took us over in the dingy to see an old sunken air plane wreck and from there to explore a near by island. We had Mexican food for dinner and Captain Mark ate 13 tacos. (I think he has been missing his Mexican food!)
We hit the hay early, we were all very tired. We awoke to another fabulous morning in the Bahamas and set sail for "Allen's Cays" to check out the iguanas and do some snorkeling. Those iguanas are feisty little buggers. Hungry, hungry, hungry!!!!
The snorkeling was beautiful again, with lots of spectacular colors, gorgeous coral reefs and little Nemo's and Dori's swimming about. Captain Mark really knows how to pick the good spots.
We sadly set sail for Nassau and will spend one last night under the stars on the Stray Cat with Captain Mark.
Stay tuned
