Worked on the boat and
figured out how to make Skype calls using the BTC data package on our
Bahama SIM card iPhone, from the boat. Unfortunately, the version of
Skype on the old iPhone does not work, but using it as a hotspot via
Blue Tooth we connect it to Linda's iTouch and can make fairly decent
phone calls. The voice data rate is only about 1MB per minute, which
figures out at about 33 hours of voice on our 2GB a month data plan.
I wish I had figured this out sooner. Linda needed to call her sister
Claudia later today. We call our kids and friends testing out the
connection.
At noontime we all head to
the Chat n Chill for lunch. Chat n Chill is well named. You order
your lunch and you get to chill for an hour before it is ready.
After the appropriate waiting period we get back in the dinghies and go snorkeling by some caves in one of the Hurricane hole harbors on Stocking Island. Rather murky water, so not much to see. We forgot the dinghy ladder, but Linda did manage to climb back into the dinghy using the outboard as a step, with much effort. She doesn't plan on doing that again.

At least we were in our
bathing suits because we had a very wet ride back to our boats. We
stay on the boat for the rest of the day. Too rough to bother with
going any where else.
Linda calls her sister
Claudia, who is under hospice care and her
husband Larry.
