Tracey's last night

Saturday was the last day/night on the boat for me.  We spent the day relaxing with a little swimming & snorkeling boat side, an early evening grill of steak and veggies and then to town for a shower, ice cream dessert & walk.

On our return to the boat, dingying out of the harbor, we encounter two or three spotted eagle rays!  They were magnificent! We could have watched them forever.  Unfortunately because the sun was already down, they were hard to see unless they were really close to the dingy, which they were - twice!  Heading out to the boat, we were flagged down by friends on Wandering Dolphin.  A family of five living & traveling on their boat for many years.  We met them in Hilo Bay after their crossing from Costa Rica.  They were joined there by two more friends who are sailing with them for as long as Chris & Rebecca with have them...a lovely end to a lovely stay.

I know that all are with me in wishing Ed the fairest of winds and following seas for this leg of his journey.  We'll be waiting for him on the other end which he says should be about 30 days - give or take.  You know what this means...no more pics!

Happy anniversary babe...glad our little world is still spinning.
