With the engine being flakey and almost no wind for what would have been a nice run to Cane Garden Bay, we opted to head back to Marina Cay after a short stop at Norman Island. Norman is one of my favorites since a little hidden passage on the beach leads to a nook where small rocks have been tumbling up against the surf for centuries until smooth and round. I carried a few back to the boat in my shorts.
Three hours in the direct sun gave me a monstrous rash on my front and back and I spent most of the evening and night writhing is a unique kind of pain, like itching needles. Such a pussy.
Renie was a darling and kept a steadily flow of ice over my torso until we picked up a mooring in Marina Cay. I drank most of the rum to keep from screaming. Not so fun.
A man named Gun came to fix the engine and tell us that his name was Gun. His name was Gun. He did not fix the engine.
