OKAY!! This is it. Tomorrow morning I am leaving Warderick Wells. Today I took am afternoon hike down to the south anchorage. When I arrived on the beach there, no boats were in. Just as I started walking up the beach looking for a good swimming spot a boat entered flying a huge Canadian flag. They anchored right where I was planning to swim. So I started chatting with them... they were only about 25-30 feet off the beach. After discovering that they are from Ottawa and that they are really nice folks, they offered to take me to Staniel Cay in the morning. So this is it. I'm off in the morning.
Tom or Larry will drop me off at thier boat in the morning. It's a NautiCat 33 footer and quite a beauty. We'll be heading out between 9:30 and 10:00 am to get to Staniel for late lunch. What happens from there I don't know. I want to spend a couple of days in Staniel Cay, and so do they, before moving on.
Anyway this means that my access to computers will be severely limited from now on. I don't even know what level of technology they have on board or if I'll be with them for more than a day. So, if you don't hear from me for awhile don't worry. As soon as I am able to get to an internet connection of any sort I will be in touch again.
This also means that there probably won't be any new photos for awhile either. But do write to me so that when I do find that elusive internet connection I will have some messages to read.
Next planned stop... Staniel Cay. After that the next planned stop is Georgetown on or before 27 February. Wonder where I'll be for my birthday on 12 February.
