1/1/2010 Rocky, Romeo’s older brother told him years ago, lets do something even if its not the right thing. Got up early and discussed were to go to wait out the front. Perfect weather conditions for one day to go anywhere within 35 mile. Romeo and Juliette talked while about going back to Normans Pond and a few other area farther South, but after seeing what is ahead of them, a lot of busy Islands and tourist traps for cruisers’.
Romeo decided to go back to Wardrick Wells and enjoy the Park.
Romeo turned on the motor and the sails for more speed, don’t catch fish unless going around 7 knots. Had to go out more than 4 miles to past the no fishing zone of the park, so Triple A could fish. No new years luck came there way, no fish again. Sailed all the way in going 2 knots into the Park and got back to the Emerald Rock mooring ball around 1:00pm.
Triple A swan to both of these beaches and back to the boat, it was a long way for her to swim. Romeo watched in the boat thinking she was swimming to one beach close by, but Triple A just kept swimming to the next beach, she made it back to the boat safe by herself.
Triple A’s swim to the beach took about about an hour and Romeo hangs back to decompress.
They felt happy with the decision to go back to the Park and be safe on a mooring ball for the next few days and why not have internet while waiting out the front.
So they had a little New Years party of they own and a large shark is swimming all round the the boat and Emerald Rock mooring area.This is in the same area Triple A, had just been swimming for the last hour, scary thought swimming with shark in a water with you. Romeo decided they should swim together and carry a knife from now on. The shark is in the picture in the middle about a inch from bank, they never have a camera out in time for sharks. The shark was around 7 or 8 foot long and looked very dark in color you could not miss him and he was swimming in very shallow water we did not see a fin out of the water like the movies, if you were in the water there would be no sign off him until you bumped into the shark. Romeo did not think this was a nurse shark, but he will talk to the camp host and see if they know what kind of shark it is and if safe to swim with.
They both monkey around for awhile. After the near death experience it felt good to be healthy and alive.
Better start working out in case we have to fight off sharks.
After the party and dinner and desert, home made Pineapple upside down cake.
Juliette went to bed and Romeo stayed up and did the storm watch.
After hours of 15 to 20 knot wind, boat is rolling and surging up and down all night. Nothing is changing and the up to 40 knot squall winds Chris Parker, said might happen, did not hit Wardrick Wells Cay. Romeo felt comfortable with the mooring ball holding and goes to bed after 12:00am 12/2/2010 CHEERS!!!!
