Hi, Wilbur,
So far, nobody in North Eleuthera, or Harbour Island (which we visited today), knows a Leslie/yoga instructor. How long ago was it you last saw or spoke to her? I have one dance instructor lead I'm following up from HI, but after that I'm out of ideas... L8R Skip -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." |

She lives full-time in the Keys and goes to spend a week-end or a week from time to time on Eleuthera in the house they own there. Her husband and her are wealthy and she just retired a year or so ago. Was a corporate lawyer for TGI Fridays in Texas. Now that I think of it more, she may have mentioned the Governors Harbor area. Have to ask again next time I see her. For some reason, though, in my mind sticks north Eleuthera. Are there any settlements on the main part of the island west of Harbor Island? She has to be in that area as that's where they caught the BFB and where they shot out her boat's motor that he stole after staying in her house for a short time. Did you have any trouble going between the reef and Eleuthera and into the relative shallows west of Harbour Island? Wilbur Hubbard |

Hi, Wilbur,
We took the ferry. It zigged and zagged prodigiously (albeit on a faster track than we'd have done), came within a stone's throw of the beach not long after leaving Spanish Wells, displayed the bottom VERY clearly quite often, and otherwise, with it's 3' draft (as measured on the markers on the side of the bow, up to, maybe, 2meters when very fully loaded), convinced us, even assuming the suction effect of high speed over shallow water, albeit probably less in a cat, that we'd made the right decision. Some of these course alterations were 10s of degrees in a few hundred feet. The waypoint plotting, assuming there was enough water for us, would have been intense. If you read the most recent log you'll see that we spoke with several folks in the area you describe, as well as the caretakers/local reps for the Sands Beer owner, who have been there forever. Just by coincidence, Loretta pulled up to the dock at the same time we did this morning; she knows EVERYBODY both there and in SW, as demonstrated by all the folks who greeted her in the short time we were together before boarding. As the local distributors of Sands, they get to meet an awful lot of people on Eleuthera... However, knowing that she's married to a retired attorney should narrow the field, especially from Texas/TGIF as another "hook"... As to settlements, of course. It's opposite the road to the airport, and there's the "little ferry" dock at the end of that road. As to BFB, why would Leslie have kept her boat in HI, where the boat he stole was taken, only to have gone aground in front of her house? We're headed to Hatchet tomorrow. What's up with your reticence on my looking for all the places we shouldn't miss in Eleuthera? LMK where she hangs out, and I'll be sure to say hi. Be sure to tell her not to be anywhere near me on the water, dangerous slob that I am :{)) L8R Skip -- Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !
