Long Island #2

This past week has flown by so quickly. Along with our friends from Escapade we rented a car on two separate days to explore the island. The first day we went to the north end of the island and yesterday we did the south end of the island. One of the highlights was the small Long Island museum. It did a good job of explaining both the history and culture of the island.  We visited Deans Blue Hole. It is a hole over 600 feet deep used for free diving. People come here to set world records. In fact Deans blue hole was featured on 60 minutes several months ago. Next attraction was Hamiltons cave. We got a personal tour from Mr Hamilton.

The day before yesterday we were dinghying to the beach for a walk and some exploring and we heard someone shout hay Geo Nova. It turned out to be Frank and Gail from Double Time a fellow member of Portland Yacht Club. We last saw them in Hampton Virginia. We explored a new beach with them this morning. This afternoon it’s laundry and tomorrow it’s a sail back to Georgetown. The weather looks good for a nice sail to cover the 40 or so miles. Monday Naomi and Hans David’s sister and brother-in-law will meet up with us for a week in the sun.
