This morning we motored out of the yacht harbor and headed over to George Dog for some snorkeling. We all got our gear on and jumped into the water, we were enjoying the fish and coral when Nick spotted a golf ball size jellyfish floating right in front of him. They were so small and transparent that they were hard to see but when we started looking, we realized that they were all around us. They didn't seem to be stinging but we headed away from them anyway and continued snorkeling.
Fish highlights included a yellow ray, pipe fish, sargent majors, bar jacks, yellow jacks and butterfly fish. Other highlights were a pink annenome, pin cushions and purple tube sponges.
After lunch on the boat, we prepared for a fast sail to North Sound in heavy winds but discovered that the main halyard had detached and was at the top of the mast. We motored into the sound, picked up a mooring and headed to shore for cocktails and appetizers.
Stay tuned...someone will have to be hauled to the top of the mast to retrieve the halyard later tonight or maybe in the morning, the wind is still howling!
