Saturday – 1816 (Disclaimer: All names used are the the real ones)
A day in the life……
1700 In the never ending search for internet connections we stumble aboard the M/V Rum Runner, (Motor/Vessel) and
enjoy a fitting rum on the rocks coupled with cheese and crackers whilst listening to tales told of the high seas by our storytellers and hosts Dorothy and Bill from NC. A welcome re-taste of Southern hospitality!!
1900 – Catching the end of happy hour at “Shark Bite,” we manage to secure ourselves rides to the Full Moon Party at “Horse Eyed Jacks,” as well as enjoy fine dining (lobster shish kabobs )in the great company of their past manager Jenn whilst we wonder if the man spraying water on the tiki bar roofs will win out over the ever increasing and blowing embers from the bon fire on the beach!
0130 – SLEEP TIME!
0630 – Awake and listen to weather by Chris Parker on the SSB
0645 – BACK TO BED!
0900 – I learn the best cure for a late night out - swim after your dingy that has broken loose and now rests ¼ mile away on the nearby beach!!
1000 – Trekking once again in search of wi fi we look for shelter from the rain, electrical outlets for the computer and ideally a chair or two.
1300 – Rendezvous at Tiki Bar with our new friends from the previous night, Mike and Laurie, for an early afternoon cocktail hour to include Coronas and Turks and Caico’s finest microbrew “Turks Head” aboard the Audax that just happens to coincide with
the testing out of the true waterproofabilty of my camera as it splashes to the murky bottom climbing into dingy!!!
Present Moment – Enjoying the smells of freshly baked bread by Jordi and sautéed meat by Stevey as we prepare to feast.
Only 9 more days of this to go
….
Jordi attaching a zinc so that our boat does not corrode and a sunset

9 days left????….”do not think of the glass half empty, but half full”
as you all toast your daily “research” accomplishments whilst leisurely enjoying your refreshing liquid treats…whatever they may be
….the tides of discovery still await all of you…
…a gentle reminder….family, friends, faith and fellowship….in these you are all well blessed!
Hope to catch this incredible schooner and her crew all flipside someday as Team Audax eventually will “come about”, safely drops her main, swings her keel and drifts safely into her home port many miles and months from now….until then gentlemen, make it happen from “within” yourselves and continually take pleasure with each and every new horizon!
Rock on as you sail on “safely” you salty dogs
Cheers, as always, to “the 3 pirateers”!!!!
I’ve gotta jet - to all, take care!
