April ...? Friday and Saturday

Friday, April 8
The day was a bit frustrating because the kids weren't focussed...maybe I do want to work with the younger ones!  I met another person today who will volunteer to do art next year.  She is a graphic designer who moved down from Nassau and her kids go to the public school!  YAAAAY!  Also, this morning I also met an author who had her grandkids illustrate a poem she wrote and had it published on Amazon.com.  The book is called "EWWWW!  BUGS!! And it is fantastic!!!  I talked to her about doing the same thing in the school but having the kids write a story and edit then publish.  Gordon took her into the school to read it to the kids.
Saturday morning Connor on HI5 left.  Quentin went over to Singing Frog and cleaned their bottom, then they left for Lee Stocking Island for a few days with HI5.  They will be back this week and then they leave for the southern Caribbean, so Quentin will be without friends except at school, until we leave at the end of the month.  It has come so fast!
I went to a Yoga class this morning and found out that I am still pretty flexible, but I need to improve my arm strength.
Rick cleaned out the sail locker and we looked at the Spinnaker but it needs a whole new panel sewn in, so we will have to use the bigger one in light winds...not that there will be any light winds!!
We went snorkelling at the coral heads at Sand Dollar Beach for a couple of hours, and rescued sand dollars and starfish from the low tide.

We are going to power through some of Quentin's schoolwork while Singing Frog is away.  We just heard that there are some new kids Quentin's age that just arrived.

Some great photos once again. I thought Sea Biscuit was a horse.
