Laundry Day!

Bittersweet day.  Six sailboats left this morning.  We have been becoming friends over the last five days while waiting for a weather window.  With group cookouts, boat parties and conch hunting, we all had become best buds but the breakup finally came.  Winds and waves decreased and it was time for the travelers to move on.

We had another day snorkeling in the search of the elusive blue sea glass.  Walking along the shore on the way to Nathan's Bakery we did see a very large ray about 100 yards off the beach.   Other marina boat people reported the "swim by" of the local 8 foot bull shark this afternoon.

There is a laundromat (2 washers and dryers)  a short 15 minute walk from here but in addition to being expensive ($11 for one load - wash and dry) you are in competition for the machines with the ladies who do laundry for hire.  We washed laundry in a bucket on the dock and hung it on life lines to dry.
