Traveling with kids sometimes takes a little more effort than traveling alone, but as long as you plan some "activities", we've found that the kids bring so much excitement to our trip. One of the activities this year was tying knots. The older boys (both 7) especially enjoyed this, as they are in training to be crew for our ship. Practicing on these sailor knots, all the kids built a pulley system of empty water jugs, camera cases, and whatever else they could find. Even Lloyd and GB ended up amidst the knot making games. A pastime for all.
Another pastime would certainly be lingering at our breakfast table. GB made pancakes for breakfast and we all enjoyed them with fresh island fruit. We fed the remainder to the Remoras (or suckerfish) who had attached themselves to the bottom of our boat from the previous night. See if you can distinguish the sucker on the Remora's head (which is actually a modified dorsal fin). 
Other sea life encountered this particular morning included two black Labrador retrievers (unusual) and a big sea turtle (usual) swimming in the anchorage before we set our compass northward towards Anegada.
