After watching a small boat with two people use a fishing net to try and catch some fish off Lynard’s shore with no success and another guy snorkeling off of a sailboat anchored near us, trying to spear fish, with no success, we motored to The Bight of Old Robinson, anchored as close as we could to the creeks and crannies of the Bight and took the dinghy in to explore the Bight. We took lunch, snorkel gear, binoculars and cameras.
I snorkeled around first but only saw sand, grass and lots of sea anemones. When I got back into the dinghy for a break, Doug had already had eaten his portion of our picnic lunch!! So, then I had a granola bar and soda and we floated the dinghy into a spot with current between two rocks and found a beautiful coral garden with little fish. We just leaned over the side of the dinghy with our masks on – and me with snorkel and mask and enjoyed the fabulous view. We then took photos, but unfortunately they didn’t do justice to what our eyes had seen. The water was so shallow that the little blue neons were hiding behind coral to keep away from my face!!
After snorkeling we got back into EcoAdventurer and motored to Tom Curry’s Point again; anchored and dinghied into Little Harbor. We went directly to Pete’s Pub, arriving around 2:30. Doug was hoping for more food – lunch or appetizers, but it was more of a drinking place with lots boaters drinking blasters, which were ½ rum and ½ juice. They were part of the Marsh Harbor Yacht Club – only $100 to join it and you get to party a lot!! We met and hung out with them for an hour or so; but we didn’t just want to drink for another 1 ½ hours until dinner, so we left. One of the couples we met owned W.A. Miller real estate and were members of Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase. They had a 70’ power boat anchored at Lynard Cay and had invited us to join them later, but Doug didn’t like them (they bragged a lot) and didn’t want to go, so we just hung out on our boat for the night. I was just curious about the lifestyles of the rich and famous J.
