Stephanie headed home

Yesterday was Stephanie's last full day in the Island. We slept in a little to digest the great meal we had the night before at Grand Old House. The picture to the left is the three of us on the deck. This morning we took Stephanie back up to West Bay to snorkel at a new site we had never been to called lighthouse point. We were hoping to see some green turtles as the site was just down the road from the Turtle Farm and the place where they release turtles into the wild. However, there were none to be seen. We snorkeled out a hundred yards or so and came to a mini wall where there was a drop off of about 45 feet. We got to see jellyfish (Scott got stung) some new parrotfish and the wall was really fascinating. There was another drop off to three thousand feet further out but we weren't sure how much farther and didn't want to snorkel that far out without a flag. The afternoon was spent making banana bread and snicker doodles and basically resting. This morning Stephanie had a 7:40 a.m. flight and is now on her way back to the States. It has been a great 10 days and as much fun for us as we hope it was for her.
