April 6 morning
Barbra...don't read this!
This morning, Amazing Grace put out a call on the
radio for some information on local snakes. Rick called to find out what was
going on, and Jim advised that he had a 3-foot snake wrapped around his coffee
pot. Rick and Quentin went over to
rescue it...and Jim and Cheryl. It
definitely was three feet and big, but it was not poisonous. There are no poisonous snakes in the Bahamas,
unless someone brings them here. This
one was a Bahamian boa constrictor that likes boats, warm windows and coffee
pots. It's an endangered species so Rick
and Quentin took it to a remote part of the island where no one would find it
and kill it.
The rest of the day was relatively boring. I did laundry, and cleaned up the cockpit. Nothing I tried got the coconut milk stain off
the paint so I guess I will repaint the cockpit when we get back to the boat
yard. Quentin made a feeble attempt at
some school reading then took off to Singing Frog for some coding lessons. Skye [the dad] is an IT tech support
consultant and is teaching his kids and Quentin and Connor [HI5 is back!] as
well how to program...so much for fun in the sun! Quentin hasn't played volleyball for a for
awhile or gone snorkelling. The kids seem
to only swim at the taxi dock and use it as a diving platform, instead of
exploring.
Rick and I went over to the outside ocean beach to
collect more shells ...for the school kids. I am attempting to provide them with the
material to create art that they can display at the art show during Family
Island Regatta.
Thursday, April 7: Today we are back to school. Quentin has skipped out on his studies once
again because HI5 is leaving tomorrow for the north, so he is spending the
morning with Connor. He has to go to school this afternoon, because he said
he would!
