January?

It is hard to believe that about a week ago it was so cold that we barely left the boat. Today it was so calm out that we had to postpone the scheduled sailboat races. Instead, we came up with an idea to have a "VBIC", very brief informal cruise. News spread quickly and we had 20 club members show up for lunch at a restaurant on Man O' War Cay. Afterwards, about a dozen of us went back to the small island we were anchored off of, named Sandy Cay, for some watersports.

Several of us had kayaks, plus people were in the 72 degree water snorkeling, swimming, and one of the members even brought water skis! Dave has wanted to do go skiing for quite sometime, so he gave it a shot and stayed up for quite awhile. This wasn't an easy thing to do, since the skis were very short. He said it was really awesome being pulled through the crystal clear water.


Today was one of the best days we have had so far this season. It certainly makes all the hassles worthwhile and our problems seem petty.
