2011-10-12 - in St. Michaels, MD
This morning it is raining and blowing in the anchorage. We are enjoying the moment where we can just hang out and catch up on school work. Currently, however, we are enjoying a video of the Shards (from a boat called Distant Shores) and getting exciting about the Bahamas portion of the trip. We just saw an episode outlining Compass Cay where you can swim with the sharks right in the marina. Connor is so excited about that! For me, the clear, warm water is what I can't wait for! After a lively school session, we put the table back down into a 'couch'. We decided to put it back up a few days ago but we soon realized that the comfy couch configuration is way better for hanging out on. Especially for Dylan as well. Without the couch he needs to remain seated, so this is great for him. As soon as the last cushion went in - the wrestling began! School was officially over. The wind and rocking had settled down so we had decided to make a run for shore. Sure enough, however a big rain cloud moved in as we were getting in the dinghy. Connor and Kerry decided that they would make a run for it. I didn't feel as adventurous. I had decided to stay behind with Dylan and play with him for a bit. Kerry and Connor hit the museum again. He wanted to see if they had live crabs to look at today. It turned out they didn't. We have been trying to catch them today off the back of the boat. Just to have a look at and put back. To do this, you take a piece of chicken with bone and tie it to a piece of string and dangle it over the edge of the boat. When you think you have a crab on it, you slowly lift if up until you have your crab. We didn't have the right foods to put on but an assure you that banana isn't a crab favourite!
