Super Bowl

On Super Bowl Sunday we continued on, moving from Great Sale Cay to Allans-Pensacola Cay. The wind was very light and on the nose so we motored all the way. The depth was around 15 feet and with glassy seas we could watch the bottom pass by. We saw several sea cucumbers, some sponges, some sea turtles and a few fish. Our group included Kalina, Miss Pearl, Munteyn Top, Tuesday Child, along with Jock's Lodge and Windsong. We arrived at 2 pm and planned Happy Hour on the beach at 3:30. There were already a few boats in the anchorage when we arrived so we had about a dozen boats at Happy Hour. We figured our chances of seeing the Super Bowl at such a remote location were extremely slim. To our surprise we were able to pick up a TV signal, which varied from fairly good to all snow. We could get a picture but no sound so we found a FM radio station with the broadcast. The radio broadcast lagged behind the picture by 10 or more seconds so that took some getting used to. We invited Dennis and Judy form Munteyn Top over to watch the game. They are from New Hampshire and did not have any way to listen to the game. Dennis built Munteyn Top, a wooden schooner, over a period of 8 1/2 years. It was built in their front yard which is on as hill, but more importantly Judy has climbed 48 mountains in New Hampshire which rise above 4000 feet. I am writing about Munteyn Top as we have nothing so say about the game. On Monday we went snorkeling and also followed a path to the ocean side to see the signing trees and to place our boat name and date there as well. Pictures will follow once we get an internet connection later this week.
