Last day in paradise

Went to Nanny Cay to look at the Annie B, a passport 40 in exceptional condition. Lots of great gear, new sails. We had not been able to find a Passport 40 near Olympia to look at.

Had Victor, our favorite cab driver take us to Cane Garden Bay for one last swim in the ocean.

The beach here was pretty deserted since there were no cruise ships in the harbor. I will never get tired of watched the penguins fishing.

Saw our new found friends from Atlanta again. They stay in the room above Rhymer's store. I think they said it was only $50 per night. Pretty cheap although we dont know what the room was like. Pretty uneventful day, just lying on the beach, catching some rays. The wireless was actually working today so I was able to work on the blog and look at all the pictures that we have taken..

The taxi ride over to Cane Garden Bay was something else! We just headed straight up into the hills, on the narrow winding one lane roads. Victor had to honk at the corners, in case someone was coming around from the opposite direction. We went by some old shacks that looked at first to be abandoned, but still had families living in them. Then we wound down the other side, passing an emaciated old horse by the side of the road.

We spent the afternoon lounging on the beach and swimming in the surf. The sand is so soft on the toes. It looked like a totally different beach without all the cruise ship people. We almost had the place t to ourselves. We stayed until the sun began to set, then had another nerve wracking ride with Victor, in the dark, going back to Road Town. A very relaxing day!!! So to speak.

Once back at the Inn, we repacked our suitcases to accommodate all of the souvenirs we bought. Then we went back to the bar for one last Mai Tai!
