Great plans were in store for today. We were prepared to start early, get the dinghy down and explore as much of the island as we could. We had printed out the trail maps and identified dinghy destinations. Mother Nature, however, had other ideas. The wind was still blowing steadily over 20 knots and the anchorage was choppy, adding to the degree of difficulty in deploying the dinghy. Add to that the occasional heavy showers and we decided to make it a slow morning and see how it looked in the afternoon. The sun would come out periodically and tease us, but then the rain would restart and the winds would rebuild up to 30 knots. There was not much activity in the anchorage. At 2:00, all the dinghies were still tied up to their respective mother ships. I jumped back into a lengthy new book and surprisingly knocked out close to 400 pages ... one chapter at a time. I anxiously awaited news from home of how the college scholarship interview went ("really well"). Our biggest excitement was when the mail boat exited behind us in the late afternoon. We'll give our plans another shot tomorrow.
