After spending a few days on the boat rolling around in the bay, fixing projects, reading books (read Girl on Fire and Mockingjay the two sequels to Hunger Games..great reads!), and enjoying the scenery, we decided to venture to shore today for a hike. Today is the first day the wind has calmed down enough where we felt like going outside.
Even so, by the time we got to shore I was soaking wet from dinghy and wind wave spray....oh the joy of sitting in front. We met up with Ingi and Burt on Boree, and another couple Peter and Jaclyne on Ahu. The folks on Ahu had been here last year and knew their way around the Island. The six of us walked up the beach and over a small saddle to the other side of the island where we had lunch at a restaurant at a small backpacker type resort. The food was good and the cold beer outstanding.

After lunch we explored this commercial side of the island. It's quite lovely, but much of the resort area is currently closed down. Too bad. It's a beautiful spot with fabulous white beaches.
We understand that there is a proposed development for more units, golf course, and marina on this side of the island, but there is some wrangling go on between the developers and the environmentalists.
Part of the Island is National Park and the other part of the Island is private/commercial. Hope some compromise can be worked out.
We've enjoyed our stay, but tomorrow at 0730, we're continuing our journey north. We are headed toward Pearl Bay, but may stop before that at a couple of other bays of interest. Follow our progress on SPOT. We'll turn him on when we leave.
All is Well with the 2 Sail R's on SV Worrall Wind
