Got to Nanny Cay Marina this morning. It's a very nice marina compared to some of the dives we've been to. We had a very interesting lunch on the beach watching the local church baptizing their younglings in the ocean in front of the Resort. I couldn't help wondering if it wasn't also a PR event. It was nevertheless quite fun to watch and the singing wasn't to bad either.
 
I'll have the Cheeseburger, 2 beers and some gospel please with a side order of saltwater dunked teens...What? that's all on special today? Bargain!
 
Instead of sailing around the island for hours we took a twenty minute cab ride to Cane Garden
Bay. It was supposed to be the hot spot, trendy town, the party capital... not on a Saturday!?

Sunday 10th April:
We arrived in Culebra (I think it's called), this morning. It's one of the Spanish Virgin Islands that actually belongs to Puerto Rico which actually is America. Confused? As we motored into the little bay past all the yachts that had obviously been there a while, I read in the guide book about the whacky misfits that lived on the island and spent their nights in a bar called The Dinghy Dock. So off to The Dinghy Dock! I found it quite normal actually. It had a barman (slightly heavy) who stood behind the bar and served guests (slightly salty) beer (great beer). You should have seen his face when D ordered a glass of white wine. He had some somewhere at moved off shocked to look for it. Returning from the restaurant, the slighlty heavy barman looked very happy with himself for finding wine.
 
So because he'd found the wine we stayed at the Dinghy Dock for dinner and found the only thing really whacky about the place was the food.
