The Captain's Card (7.19.12)

When you are a captain with the Moorings, you are issued a Captain's Card.  One their website, they explain that this distinction gives you discounts at certain local places in addition to other perks.  One of those perks touted was free swimming at Bitter End and free showers in their bathhouses. Unfortunately, our Captain's Card didn't get us very far.  Up to 4 of our guests were allowed to use the pool, but I'm afraid we had to pay for our showers.  Should I complain for false advertising? Naah.  We did enjoy ourselves.  Worth every penny.

Picking Up A Ball at B.E.Y.C (7.19.12)

From The Baths, the winds carried us northward toward the Bitter End.  I'm not sure how I managed to have matching guys help me, but, these dudes in orange acted like pros when picking up our ball. Way to show out at the Bitter End Yacht Club, Harrison and Todd!

Lily (7.19.12)

We had to ask twice before we understood that the guy selling T-shirts at the Poorman's Bar was indeed named Lily.  Not exactly what I would expect for such a handsome guy.  Nonetheless, Lily turned out to be the nicest vendor on the beach.  He talked with us about Vincent and what a small world it was that we Americans knew his friend!  He ultimately gave us quite a deal on a few items, including the yin and yang necklaces that Grayson and Maddie shared.




Devil's Bay (7.19.12)

There's something for everyone at Devil's Bay... snorkeling for the fish enthusiast, rock climbing and cliff jumping for the adventuresome, and even rest for the weary.  To tell you the truth, Grayson and Maddie did it all!






The Lost Girls (7.19.12)

We were all ready to make our descent back down to the Baths until we realized that we were missing Grayson and Maddie.  Mildly concerned, we split up to find the lost girls.  I found a pair, but, they weren't exactly who we were looking for.  Luckily, Shelby found our two in the bathroom.

Top of the Baths (7.19.12)

In all our years of coming here, I've never made it to the Top of the Baths.  Harrison and Lloyd stayed behind, but, the Sandersons, Grayson and I were up for hiking the trail.




Once we got to the top, there was opportunity for shopping, eating, and swimming.  Would you be surprised if I told you we enjoyed all three?  We even snagged 10 minutes of free internet on Todd's ipad while we waited for our lunch (coconut shrimp and mahi mahi sandwiches).

The Baths (7.19.12)

Come with us through the maze of rocks toward's Devil's Bay.  



There are pools of water there that are unbelievable.  

 And natural paths that are indescribable.  






And, occasionally, you'll meet friends who stop to greet you along your way.
