Winds: 3 knots

Distance Traveled: 8.3 miles


With no wind we had to motor to Norman Island. We hit The Caves first to snorkel a bit and finally get in the water. Since it was late in the day the sun wasn't at the best position to snorkel, but it was a good short snorkel.




We grabbed a ball in The Bight with absolutely NO wind. This is Josh and Pam's first time on 'ilon and it's hard to explain how rare it is to have no wind at all. The water is glass.

We grab a ball and head to Pirates Beach Bar. Cindy and I skipped Pirates in '05 and haven't been since 2000. Since then it appears they have added a gift shop.
We quickly become friends with the bartender Neveah from South Africa. We soon realize she is also a Borat fan and end up exchanging one liners from the movie. She was great.

We leave Pirates and get a chuckle when we run into the mooring collector guy on the Pirates dinghy dock. He asks if we are on so and so boat and say no. We say we are on Kokomo and need to square up. He cant believe we came all the way from the back of the mooring field....it wasn't that far, especially with flat water.

We clean up on Kokomo and head to Willy-T (a floating pirate ship bar). We decide to eat at the Willy-T...the menu consists of fried anything . We eat, drink, dance (ok only I danced), did "shot-skis", drank, made friends, drank and then tabbed out. Whoa whoa whoa, apparently we broke something.....$165 later we head back to Kokomo via moon light and crash. $165 ouch.
