We had a tour of North Andros by cars. It included Red Bay where the local fishermen go sponge fishing. It was beautiful! We also saw a blue hole which is a deep deep sea water filled hole in the land. The bottom is not reached. No-one knows the depth of them, but if you kept going down they would lead you to the sea. We discovered the dark colour was not related to the murkiness of the water, on the contrary, when we threw a stone in you could watch a stone descend for several seconds to quite a depth.
We also visited Morgans Cave- a pirate cave, but Al was disappointed that there was no treasure, just a few crabs! There are a huge variety of land crabs and soldier crabs and the ground was moving beneath our feet with soldier crabs in a variety of borrowed shells!
We visited Lowe Sound and bought some lovely local basketware.
In the afternoon we visited Sister Verne and family to say our good-byes and to see the final finish in the house. It looked lovely and we were thrilled to have been a part of such a good outreach project.
In the evening we enjoyed a final farewell meal with Revs Stacia and Mark Christmas at Sister Angie's Poop deck. The food was delicious and the company was marvelous. It seems sad to leave Andros. The time here has really flown by. Onto new adventures tomorrow.
Sarah & Al
