WHOA MAN OVERBOARD

Way back in 2010 when Paul's brother-in-law Tom and our son Matthew were moving Coyaba up the ICW for a few days, Tom fell in brackish, crocodile infested waters. He swam to the boat in record time and to this day we talk about it along with his wife Brenda. She is always commenting on it and reinforcing to “hang on” Tom, “watch your step” Tom, etc. Well, in Staniel Cay, we were moving just from one anchorage to another so we were towing our inflatable. Tom and I were anchoring as Captain Paul was slowly backing up. Brenda decided that the inflatable was going under Coyaba and needed a helping hand and before she knew it she fell in with a loud splash and yell.. maybe a swear word or two.. Engine in neutral, Paul and his crew helped her get out of the water. No danger but a few bruises later Brenda is laughing. See how easy it is to fall in? Safety on a boat is a must!

PLEASE note that the internet here at Staniel Cay is extremely slow. I have been unable to connect to the internet and when I do it is just hotmail not any webpages. Today is our lucky day!
