First I have to thank everyone for all the nice responses I received from my blog posting last night. I am in much the same "space" tonight, but the boys are doing just fine making sure the guests have the time of their life!
This is the dolphin we saw in White Bay yesterday...

And little Sophia looking charming as ever!

It was a trip to Foxy's this morning for shopping followed by a sail and a motor to make it up to Deadman's Bay on Peter Island. One of our couples has spent time their with honeymoons and anniversaries over the years, and they were very happy to sit on the beach and watch the boat in the water with all the kids enjoying activities! I seemed to have another busy baking spree today, brownies, ice cream, buns for lunch, cinnamon buns and who knows what else, while going through west end I attempted to get hamburger buns for tomorrow as I am a bit done in the bread making department, but they had none, so I will bake buns again in the morning!
I jumped in the water with my camera for a bit here, it has probably been 7-8 years since I have done a SCUBA dive on the point. I love these soft corals...

A nice fish...

A cool little shark that did not like me taking pictures of him...

a lobster tucked into the smallest hole possible!

One thing really surprised me, was the amount of sand that was covering the reef here on the outside, well, the rocky reef. It was really noticeable that the sand was shifting and covering it. I know not why.
More pretty fans...

I saw a couple patches of squid eggs, which is what these are...

The kids playing at the back of the boat...

Wake boarding...

Silhouette...

THREE large remora under the boat trying to attach themselves to something, I played with them for awhile...

Me thinks the Predator has a few too many people on it now!

They loved their time at the beach here, and around 6 PM we decided to do a sail down to Privateer Bay on Norman Island, Bazza had wanted to play the sailing game with them and they are all a bunch of hams as you can see from these pictures! I think it is probably safe to say that they enjoyed themselves....






















Again, thank you everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages to cheer me up. I will reply to the emails just as soon as I feel up to it.

We are anchored in "shark catching" territory tonight, and just since sitting here I have heard the anchor going up and down obviously trying to untangle something large from around it....
