Clarence Town

We are sailing down south. We snorkeled at Conception Cay. It is a beautiful uninhibited Island. And the coral bed is stretched out endlessly toward the East.

Large fish with sharp teeth!

On the way to Rum Cay, Peter caught this fish. We divided it into 5 pieces and froze them. Today we are sailing to Clarence Town on Long Island. We will go to see the Blue Hole, Cave, and stay a couple of nights here until a good weather window to go to the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Clarence Town has two beautiful Churches. Father Jerome built these Churches and he had a architure education background.. The proportions are so beautiful and peaceful. The interior is very simple and elegant too.

We were imagining the romantic Wedding Ceremony in these Churches. There also is a beautiful Moorish house near the Marina. It is so beautiful and unique. We were dreaming to own a house like that in the Carribean area. It could be beautiful to have a studio in this building.

The Hamilton Cave is amazing! It is a visual Feast inside. We each have a flash light and walk around in the Cave with the Cave owner.

Feast of visual attraction

The way we light the Cave with flash light and walk around gives us the amazing visual effect. Also in many places sunlight streams through small holes in the ceiling. Every time the light cast toward the Cave wall, the exclamation words come out naturally. We would like to remember the beauty and the adventureness forever in the heart.

The salt water Bluehole is a natural wonder. It is 400 feet deep in the center. We snorkeled around the hole and saw a lot of fish. According to the grade of deep color blue, the water was varied to cold and warm. Peter is the center of the hole with deepest color of the blue.

We made a camp fire on an uninhibited island. Gathering wood is different from making a mountain fire. Fiona made “Zuppa de Pesce”, fish soup, with the fish we caught earlier. It taste great! We all look like the beach Gypsy.

Hot during the day but cool in the evening makes a fire cozy.

We are planning to sail two days and two nights to the Turks and Caicos. We, Sea squirrel and Notre Voyage together, sail one day and anchored at Atwood and sleep over night. And next day to sail 24 hours to Turks and Caicos. Sea squirrel is a bigger monohull boat so they can go faster than us. We can not motor as fast as them and can not arrive in Atwood in the day time. So we are sailing 48 hours.

This morning we woke up at 3am and set sailed. Peter had a nap in the afternoon while I was on duty. It was not bad at all. I read a couple of pages and looked around the sea to see any boat pass by. And go back to the book for 20 minutes. One of us will be on duty all the time for two days.
