2023-03-19 Pipe Creek snorkeling and walks, Black Point SSCA Gam and Manta get together

We stayed a few more days at Pipe Creek, went snorkeling with Jason and Monica from Breathe, and walked the beaches with Breathe and Aaron, Julie and dog Piper from Turnerbout

Some nice large brain corals

Interesting clumps of corals and fishes

This goat seemed very curious about us, but eventually ran away when it spied the dog

Large crashing waves on the east side beaches

This little guy wasn't very afraid

Beautiful moon rise

After a couple more days at Pipe Creek, including a Pi day, 3/14, celebration on Breathe, where Monica made up apple pie and ice cream (sooo good) to celebrate Pi day, we headed south for the Black Point SSCA Gam, and Manta gathering.

Lorraine's café hosts the SSCA Gam  SSCA website .   Basically a bunch of cruisers get together for a fun time, with a nice buffet dinner at Lorraine's restaurant, and then two days of afternoon music, food and beach activities.   We went to the buffet, had a good time, and did one afternoon of beach activities.

We also had a Manta catamaran lunch, with 5 of us Manta owners there (Charm, Breathe, Imagine, Sea Seeker, and  Green Envy (power cat))   

Full anchorage at Black Point

Fun beach activities and socializing

It has been a fun 3 days, but it is time to move on, now the festivities are over.

This morning woke up to heavy rain.  Nice to have, it has been a couple of months now without rain it seems.

Cloudy rainy morning - filled the water tanks, and got the boat rinsed off

Our niece Lindsey gave us a nice surprise, and is flying into Staniel Cay, where we will pick her up, and get to spend a few fun days with her, before dropping her off in Nassau, where she will spend a week on a dive boat.  So this coming week should be good fun spending time with Lindsey.
