I Have a New Website

It has been a long time since I have visited this blog and it was fun to read about our first couple of years cruising. I found that it was easier to post on FaceBook and more difficult to post on both places. However, I have just started a new website about diving and snorkeling and the critters you can see.

Spiraserpula--What's That!!???

The boat’s unique name is the result of Bill’s desire to follow the time honored tradition of naming a boat after a wife, girlfriend, or daughter, with a “logical” twist (as in If A=B and B=C, Then A=C). The logic follows that If a worm is named after Gayle AND the boat is named after the worm, THEN the boat is named after Gayle. Indeed Gayle has a marine worm named after her, Spiraserpula plaiae in recognition of her discovery of the species-specific structures found in the worm’s tube. The logo shows the structures in the tube for Gayle’s worm. The tongue-twister name is often perceived as Sassparilla which we have learned to respond to. So far we have not met a boat named Sassparilla.

Tied to the Internet

We have been in Black Point for nearly 2 weeks now watching boats come in and out every day.  The internet is very good here which makes taking care of the house business much easier.  It still restricts us from travelling around though.  The weather has been mixed--mostly blowing but only bad enough only a few days that we had to stay on the boat.  Our poor courtesy flag has just about been beat to death.

Jim and Jane made it here a couple of days ago and yesterday we took them out to the little patch reef around the northern point.  Jane has a CAMERA and she let me use it so I am posting some underwater picture of the patch reef.  There is also a nice drift dive that we will do today and maybe get some conch.
