Saturday April 19

Following boat orientation and showers we were off to the local supermarket for provisioning.  At 4:00 we finally slipped the lines and headed for nearby Pigeon Island.   With the mooring balls taken, we set anchor overlooking a 'Sandals Resort' and 'The Landings', the same resort we dined the night before.  

Ken & Betsy - Fort Rodney, Pigeon Island 

Eric rigged and raised the Canadian and US flags on "No Regrets" while Ken, Betsy, and Jim snorkeled the surrounding waters.  While cockails and snacks were enjoyed, dinner was planned. Striploin and Tofu on the BBQ with a side of Potato, Zuchini, and Onion.  The tofu was for me.

Unlike the Bahamas last year and Tortola 6 weeks ago, I was missing the 'wow' factor mainly because, I feel,  I have become familiar to island lifestyle.  This is not a negative feeling by any means. The 'wow' was replaced with a warm welcome comfort of belonging.  I suppose this is the same feeling some people have after being in Cape Breton a couple of times.
