December 26th

We spent several days in green turtle at Miss Blue Bees bar and Pineapples, enjoying the people and learning more about the island.  Kevin loves the Goombay Smash at Miss Blue Bees's and even brought a liter of it for the trip home.   I was talking with Miss Viola (Miss Emily's grand daughter), her daughter is also a massage therapist and would like to meet with me online and discuss essential oil products
Monday we move to Manjack Cay and meet the owners, Bill and Leslie.  Leslie and I spent several hours talking about bush medicine and she showed me all the native trees and plants they use for healing purposes.  Later in the day we did their nature hick to the atlantic side of the island and went to the beach, then did a dinghy ride throuh the creek that runs the middle of the island.  I would suggest this island to any and all cruisers , it was wonderful.
Wednesday went left early in the morning for Great Sail Cay and spent the night before heading to Mangrove Cay the next morning.
Thursday was off the Mangrove Cay waiting to cross back to the states.
Friday (Christmas day) we left at 0200 and set sail for Fort Pierce, the seas were 2-4 foot rollers with occasional 5 foot, winds were 6-10 knots out of the SE.  We made it to the inlet and anchored around 1700, we were tired, stinky and hungry.    Our friends Dave and Lisa, on board Scallywag were waiting for us in Ft. Pierce.  They came over for drinks and snacks.  Dave was introduced to a Goombay Smash and really liked them, so much he was calling them Gumby smashes at the end of the evening.
Saturday morning we left around 0730 to head home, up the ICW and Dave and Lisa left around 0400 to go on the outside up to port canaveral.  We arrive home around 1330 and went to the airport to clear immagration.
