From 2 sick herrigels….to emergency room visits! Anchor dragging and Easter Enchiladas. Hearts extravaganza and warbler identification. Fish tacos and fried plantains. Its life aboard the Audax and its all good!!
Tuesday
0738 – Working to enjoy pancakes at Cinnamon Bay courtesy of chef extraordinaire Jordi. Brother Scot and myself suffering from some sort of nasty stomach virus. Raise the quarantine flag, fumigate the boat!!
Monday
0534 – “TURN THE ENGINE ON!!” “BRING OUT THE FENDERS”. What the…????? First came the rain, and then came the wind. Lesson learned: Anchoring on coral in a crowded harbor equals oh shi*!”, but with a team 5 strong - Jordi and Scot on anchor detail, Stevey at the helm and David and I on support staff the crisis was averted. Good thing we did not stay for any more drinks at Foxy’s the night prior!!
Sunday – Enjoying excellent Easter enchiladas as the furry guy managed to find Team Audax bringing with him some welcome chocolate treats. With bellies full we made our way towards the Caves at Norman
Island. Venturing deeper than ever before… it happened….a war wound. A spiny sea urchin right into the hand of Captain Coates. Keeping calm, cool and collected we spread all canvas and full throttled for Road Town! Thankfully amputation was narrowly avoided and as the sun set we enjoyed beautiful vistas en route to Jost Van Dyke.
Before and after, lets harpoon a whale, Peter Island photorial by Scot, finally raising the state of Maine flag!

Sounds like an exciting time! Hope David’s injury was not to limiting to further adventures…and that sons John and Scot have recovered from the stomach “bug”!

All well here!

Hope you are feeling better. I’m sure recuperating in the beautiful sunny islands speeds up your recovery.
I am looking forward to a visit with Jillian–aka mom tomorrow!

I am so jealous that you went back to Mojo’s! They have the BEST Fish Tacos I have ever had in my life!! Yummy!! Mojo’s Plantains are pretty good too, but Suzette’s are the best.
