Kevin went for a snorkel this morning to dive on our anchor and scrub a little more crud off the underside of the boat. I was inside when he called me out to take a look at an enormous 4-foot stingray that had meandered over and was laying on the bottom right under the boat. It swam away when I came out but I guess when I went back inside it came back again to keep an eye on Kevin's progress. Then later in the afternoon I also jumped in and snorkeled around a bit and after I got out and started rinsing myself off on the transom I looked over and there it was again, just hovering off to the side of the boat, watching me. Very Hitchcockian. He may have just been curious about what these strange-looking interlopers with the flailing arms and legs were up to, but seriously sometimes when we snorkel I wonder: who is watching who?
We turned in early and set our alarm for midnight so that we could get started on our next passage. Goodbye, Bahamas -- hello, Turks & Caicos! We were glad we saved our chartplotter track on the way in (a la Hansel & Gretel's breadcrumbs), as it made going out the west entrance of Abraham's Bay a no-brainer. We're expecting to land in T&C around lunchtime on Friday.
Where we are:
Location=Passage to Turks and Caicos
Lat=22 14.685
