I cannot believe the last day of charter comes around so quickly. We were not up at the crack of dawn, but the guests watched the steady parade of boats leave the anchorage at Anegada today while we had a leisurely breakfast of Eggs Benedict, which were pronounced the best that some had ever had. Cannot ask for more then that!

We put up our spinnaker and joined the parade of boats sailing down the way. We were not in the lead!

Stenella, which is a true sailing boat, left us in their dust!

We stopped at the Chikuzen for a much anticipated dive. Unfortunately when we were down there, the visibility in a word "sucked"

There were a ton of fish, but hard to see. Our divers still saw a lot...

I quickly decided to hang in the water column and see if I could get any less backscatter for pictures. It was hard. We saw several fish that had bites and in one case, an entire side missing out of them....

This Green Turtle made its way up for a breath of air...

While the Permit delighted in following me around this entire dive...

Our divers near the bow, they did see a Eagle Ray...

The Amberjack were not only plentiful, they were very friendly as well!

More permit....

Not to be outdone, our fishermen caught Jacks and Barracuda...

We had lunch under way then and continued down to Cam Bay on Camanoe for a quick snorkel. The guests pronounced it too cold in the water and we were on our way to Marina Cay to try and fish for Tarpon tonight. Well, this little Herring was a start, but not quite tarpon material...

The Snapper was a bit larger but still not a tarpon!

Bazza did one of his trivia quizzes at Cocktail hour and Katie was our winner, it missed being a tie as someone forgot to put their name on their paper!!

Dinner was served followed by homemade brownies, homemade ice cream and I really outdid myself with homemade hot fudge sauce as well. This all went along with the homemade Ciabatta I made with dinner, yep, pretty much everyone is a beached whale tonight!
