We decided to go past the airport to White Bay on Guana Island. The water here is a gorgeous shade of turquoise. There are coral heads and reefs here and there. Snorkeling was OK. While the island of Guana is private, we can go on the beautiful, white sand beach. When we snorkeled from the boat yesterday, we ended up swimming to shore and walked along the beach. The fine sand felt so soft on my feet. There is good snorkeling at Monkey Point, which is at the end of this bay. We haven’t gone snorkeling there yet, but hope to before moving on to the next anchorage.
Today, 4.16.23, I finished polishing the stainless steel on the inside of the boat. There are still some spots that I need to work on, but I only have so much time and they will have to wait. I started in earnest preparing the boat for sitting on the hard for 7.5 months by washing out the insides of some of the closets/cabinets and spraying them down with a mixture of vinegar and water. Since these places all are closed, I’m hoping that not much sea air seeps into these areas before we put the boat up. I just have to start somewhere so that we are prepared to leave on the 28th.
