Tuesday, March 15 - Today we enjoyed a good lunch at the "Dock 'n Dine" restaurant on the harbor. Then we loaded up the dingy with all our snorkel and fishing gear and took off with Chad & Julie to check out the northeast part of the island. We found an island made out of coral covered with conch shells and the shells of sea urchins. Denny cleaned up some conch to take back with us to make into horns. He plans to saw part of the cone for a mouthpiece. The water was very shallow in spots but clear as a bell. We could see these huge red starfish and crabs as well. We threaded our way around the low spots til we got to this beautiful blue lagoon with the Atlantic 100 yards away. Back at the boats and Dale and Mercedes aboard Allegria arrived around 5 pm at high tide from Hope Town.
