We arrived about 10.00 and anchored between Indian Key and West End, Grand Bahama. I had delicious fresh orange juice for breakfast in my new Thing 1 cup – followed by Cadburys chocolate, fizz and peanuts – an excellent start to being 56.


Nick stayed on the boat to check we were anchored OK whilst Max took me snorkelling. The first time I have been swimming since May 2013 and another perfect birthday treat! It was fantastic and we saw a 4ft spotted eagle ray that swam around us a few feet away – I have only ever seen them from some distance above before. There were also some big trigger fish to watch and many largesea fans that Max has never seen in such shallow water before.

Max cooked a delicious supper and then we watched a couple of episodes of Orphan Black – one of several TV and radio series that Max had recorded for me. Nick gave me Gummi Sharks, and of course some of the repairs we had done in the boatyard!
