6 - 7 July

We left Staniel Cay and motor sailed on the East Side of the islands. This
was a great time to fish. We put out four lines and actually hooked
sailfish! It breached the water and ultimately cut the line. We had another
fish on but it was only a Barracuda.

We got to the marina in anticipation of getting some resort time. This used
to be a Four Seasons property but was recently converted to a Sandals
resort. We were very disappointed to discover that even though the Marina is
owned by Sandals marina guests cannot use the resort without paying an
exhorbanant day rate. Plus they do not allow children! To make matters worse
the rain started and continued unabated for 18 hours.

We watched a couple of movies and then donned our wet weather gear to hit a
local spot for dinner. The dinner and atmosphere was fantastic as we capped
off a great trip with a good local meal.
