Tuesday
Going to the beach every day is now the norm. Bob swims and I collect yet more shells as
there are new ones with every high tide.
Back at K2F Bob found a fellow banjo player on the boat next door, so he and Rick
spent the rest of the morning discussing music, frets, and playing together.

Winds are much less today and most of the sailboats are
talking of heading out tomorrow. The
east wind is making it difficult as most people want to go east from here. We have made a lot of good friends here so it
is bittersweet to know so many will be gone tomorrow. At least 4 sailboats are planning a 6am leave
time.
It is finally time for the “Things To Do Tomorrow” list
which for today meant “Find the dinghy leak.” After going over the seams
several times Bob took off the motor so we could better inspect the
bottom. Still no luck until I heard a
slight hiss. We had a hole on the inside
of the tube. The cause – a conch shell
we brought back from Conch Island had punctured the hypalon. Butch had told us that the conch shell is the
5th hardest material in the world and we know for sure that it is
harder, or at least sharper, than Zodiacs hypalon boats.
