Saturday morning was again very calm. We headed up to White Point for some snorkeling and another walk on a gorgeous beach that we had all to ourselves. In the afternoon the wind picked up to 20 - 25 knots. We motored up to Little Bay where it was very windy and decided to head back to White Point. We had a fast downwind sail but by the time we got back there it was extremely rolly and uncomfortable even though it was quite sheltered from the wind. We called a boat we know that was at Little Bay to see how the conditions were there. They did not have their radio on but SEE Y'ALL LATER, a member of the "Texas Navy" called back to say there was zero roll. We bashed our way through 3 - 4 foot very short steep waves back to Little Bay where it was windy but as promised there was no roll and anchored amongst a group of boats from Teas. We had a nice visit with Kathleen and Will on WINGS along with their guest Lou and their very cute little black Poodle Lacey.
Sunday the wind was 20 - 25 knots all day so we stayed on the boat. We thought about going to shore but figured we would get soaked on the way in. The salt water showers in the dinghy get old after awhile.
Monday morning we headed to Black Point to do laundry. Ida who owns the laundry had to go home for a "few minutes". I was the only one there so she left me in charge. In the hour she was gone I sold $56 worth of laundry, a bracelet, and 6 postcards. How many places in the world do they ask complete strangers to take care of their business? When she came back she brought one of her fabulous smelling (and tasting) cakes back fresh from the oven. I guess that is what she had to do at home. In the afternoon we had a fast sail over to Staniel Cay. Bill went over to WINGS to give them a part that they needed. I spent the time baking Bill a pie for Valentine's Day and talking to my mother on Skype.
