On Wednesday we had a fantastic day. First we left Warderick Wells and had a nice sail, but the wind died down and we had to motor. We motored for a little while until we got to the Rocky Dundas. We were going to go into the sea caves but we had to wait till 3:00pm, at low tide so the current would not take us away. So we went conching with Steve from Hook. Mom came, too. The first few spots we went to had no conch and that was that. Then we hit the jackpot! There were so many it was insane! We were pointing our fingers underwater and going like, “I want you, you, and you.” We got like 6 or 7. We came back to the boats and got the conch in to a bag and threw it into the water to keep the conch fresh until we could clean them.  After that, we went to the sea caves. They were amazing. We rode over in our dinghies and got a mooring. I was the first one in the water. There was a reef. It was great we went in to one of the caves and there were stalagmites, stalactites, and it echoed when you spoke. It was great! We got our picture taken and then we snorkeled around the reef for about forty five minutes. There were Queen Parrot fish and all sorts of fish and coral. There was even Fire Coral! Fire Coral is rare in the states because all the reefs were destroyed because it is extremely sensitive.

On Thursday we traveled on the boat from Rocky Dundas to Black Point. It was a nice sail; we were going about 7.5 knots with just the sails up. I was down below sleeping and everything was good. There was a good heel, about this / angle. We rolled in and anchored and met Hook. We went ashore to walk Luna and she was a big hit. All the kids loved her. We walked her around and took her back to the boat. Then we came back into shore to have dinner at Loraine’s Café. It was great but there was a long wait for our food. We found things to do though. I had BBQ ribs. they were delicious. We had our fill and went home full. We had ice cream!!!! The Hooks left us to go farther south and we are now all alone. We said our goodbyes this morning and everyone was sad. We walked Luna around this morning down the other side of the island. It was beaches and the open plains of the island with the ocean in the back ground. We went back to the boat after that and now I am writing this.
