Sunday 3rd November 2013

Well up bright and early, the kids did not sleep real well but seemed a lot happier.
We decided to go to an island called Musket  Cove, it took about two hours to get there, with Bek feeling very green, but they managed to enjoy themselves as well, Anthony and I put out the fishing lines as he thinks he can catch a bigger fish than me, haha
So far we are nil on that score.
What a pretty place this is a nice island for there first official visit.
As we were trying to set the anchor, the engine stopped dead and as we had a lot of boats around us I was really really concerned.
We yell to The Captain he comes running, and tries to start it and nothing, on the third attempt it starts, we decide to just leave it where it is and hope  the anchor set.
We decide to go ashore as this place is almost all resort so we decided to have a look around and have a happy hour drink.
As The Captain is pulling in the dingy we had been dragging it behind us the rope would not pull in, then we realised that it was wound around the propeller great at least we now knew why the engine stopped we all got our swimmers, snorkel goggles and flipper on except Bek as she would not in fear of sharks....haha
And jumped over board the guys dived for an hour trying to free the rope, they got most of it off but were just too exhausted to keep going, in the end we decided to call it a day and do the rest tomorrow, we then went into shore and had a nice walk around, Bek had a swim off the beach there and then came back to the boat for Happy Hour drinks as they were way to expensive on shore, and once again settled into the night.

Well tomorrow is another day.
