this orchid looking flower is on a tree that is about 100 ft high and 30 ft diameter
and it is called Poor Mans Orchid Tree
the leaves of the Poor Man's Orchid Tree
we had a guided tour around the premises of ECC, Every Child Counts school for
challenged children … and had every tree and scrub identified for us
there is about 100 children in the school, we donated our extra acrylic paint to the school
one of the largest starfish we have ever seen
walking another deserted beach
we think these tracks are from a turtle, but not too sure
Snowbird, Moonlight Maid and Modaki
had happy hour on the beach with a bonfire
Heather and Alan's son and his girlfriend
the three boats at anchor
the No Seeums drove us off the beach at dusk
another day comes to an end …
the next morning we had unexpected gale force winds that lasted for a couple of hours
no one dragged
Joe and I stopped off at Firefly Resort to have a look around
the grounds are very well kept with huge stone walls, holding back the sand
Modaki at anchor, just off Firefly
..note the different colours in the water, showing different water depths, Marsh Harbour is
in the distance
having a drink looking out at our home
Firefly has their own alcohol brand, most of it is some sort of Ice Tea drink,
it was too sweet for me
another night at anchor
and the next day the winds kicked up again and we headed
back to Mangoes for a few days, and a rum tasting party was held
Snowbird and Moonlight Maid left the next day and crossed the Whale, on to Great Sail, then West End and staged to cross the Gulf Stream .. we just got an email this morning that
their crossing went well and they are in Stuart, Florida getting ready to decommission the boats,
then get hauled out at Indian Town next week
Snowbird is getting their boat trucked back to Kingston area, and MM is
driving home then coming back in June to sail the boat back to Nova Scotia
Modaki will miss them both next year
thanks to Groovin, Chris and Elizabeth (Toronto area)
got us going to this local Take A Way place called Old School
for curried mutton on a bed of white rice and spinach … all for $7, and it is enough for the two of us
