Be sure to visit Nippers on Great Guana. The frozen Nipper will knock you
right on your lubber arse. And the scenery is great.

Hah!

I'm a non-drinker (that is, I don't, other than extremely rarely, ever have
alcohol) and found it refreshing. One with dinner couple days ago and a
couple with lunch yesterday. Beat Lydia's Goombay by a mile; she agreed and
had the freeze yesterday...

The "reef(s)" were extremely disappointing compared to the buildup given
them by the cruising guide(s). We snorkeled the reef off the small cay with
the hut (Russel Baldwin? Cay with Low Fall?), under Fowl couple days ago,
and off Fowl today (see our spot page). Spectacular. Nice view, too, and
nice beach. Not dramatically different from the one off Hopetown's ferry
dock, though, much closer (we walked back yesterday, a hike to Bakers Bay).

Pretty pricey, but we'll likely not be back for a long time, so we splurged
on the couple meals there, and enjoyed the nipmobile 3 out of 4 times,
Albury having gone missing all afternoon when we tried to get back yesterday

How did this migrate to a thread on stuck diesels ??
