The Professor and Mary Ann

Last night there were four boats anchored here. When we woke up this morning they had all left. We decided to stay one more night but it was rolly where we were originally anchored so we picked up and moved a little closer to the land. Kevin went snorkeling to take a look at the anchor and swim around a bit (the water was too cold for me - 73 degrees). Kevin saw two huge rays sitting on the bottom right next to a huge lobster. It was quiet and peaceful and then a posse of 20 jetskiers pops up out of nowhere. Well, not out of nowhere, remember how I said the island is owned by Carnival cruise lines? Well we've seen two cruise ships come and go (they only stay for a day) and it seems that jetskiing is one of the "shore activities" that passengers can do. Parasailing seems to be on the list as well, we saw several people go up this afternoon.

Our activities today were a little slower paced. I tried out a recipe for fruit cobbler from one of the cookbooks Kevin's Aunt Diane gave us for our wedding. Kevin snorkeled, fixed a few small things, and we listened to Headline News on Sirius radio. All this activity wore us out so of course we had to take an afternoon siesta. Actually Kevin was pretty tired, he'd woken up every 2 hours the night before to check on the anchor. Anyway now night is falling, the cruise ship is gone and there are no other boats in sight - we have the anchorage all to ourselves. Cue the theme song to "Gilligan's Island"...
