After breakfast we motored from Falmouth Harbor to English Harbor, where we will try for a dive at Pillars of Hercules. We took the dinghy out not too far from the boat. The water was warm enough and there was pretty good visibility. We saw lots of the tropical fish. Pretty good dive. It was so nice to get back to it after a year.
After the dive they sent us ashore at English Harbor for sightseeing and shopping. Lots of cute shops and a neat museum of Nelson’s Dockyard. This area has a long British history. We ended up at a beautiful restaurant on the water called Admirals Inn. We sat in a little cabana on sofas. Very enjoyable afternoon.
Victor returned to the boat with a brown paper sack full of TING! He saw a waitress carrying a bottle from a shop, so he went in and purchased some. We have been Ting-less for the cruise due to a shortage on the entire island. We were able to find four battles earlier when we were in St John but everywhere else we looked there was none. The story is that the company that makes Ting also makes two brands of beer and they are catching up on production after the hurricanes. At any rate, it was nice to finally be able to enjoy our signature cocktail!
We returned to Further to a late lunch. Then after a little nap, we took a taxi to Shirley Heights to listen to Halcyon, a steel drum band. The 360˚ vista was amazing and the music was fun. A reggae band played next and we listened to a little of that. We came home to a late meal on Further - delicious duck breasts with mashed potatoes.
