Great day

We started our day with some chores and Bryan went to rent us a car . There is another marina Blue Haven near the other end of the Island so a road trip to start the day was in order. Our car is a tiny Toyota reminiscent of the little compacts we rented in Spain or Italy . This country drives on the left side if the road so that takes some getting used to for sure. Blue Haven Marina is amazing a fancy condo resort with a gym, pool bars etc. Very nice so we have decided to move here. 

Before we moved the boat we made our way to a local beach to snorkel and soak up some sunshine. The snorkel was pretty good a bit churned up but lots of coral and some fish about. Marjorie and I stayed on the beach and the boys went for a drive stopping at the local hardware store of course another dodab thingamajigy for the boat :-)

Craig, Bryan and Marjorie took the boat around to new marina after fuelling up and I drove the car to the local grocery store for more provisions we are eating on board tonight . I found it really interesting to drive a car on the wrong side of the road into a traffic circle but I did it! Then I had to find the new marina I new the name but couldn't really remember the turn off it's a small Island so I figured no problem....well yes I got lost but stumbled on a great area which Bryan and I will go back to one afternoon lots of shops and dining options there Grace Bay. I managed to find the marina before they called out the emergency search patrol hehe.

We made our way to the beach bar for a couple of cocktails before dinner so lovely to sit at a beach bar and look out the palm trees blowing in the wind and the crystal clear blue / green water. Asian fusion was the theme tonight complete with chop sticks, Marjorie and I made the rice and cold slaw and Craig did the whahoo fish which had been seasoned and dipped in sesame seeds and quickly seared very delicious...what a team!

Played some cards and dice another great night!
