Thursday 21st March

We decided to go back to Buffalo Creek to play golf today as the next 2 days are forecast to have some rain. It has been hot today but there were a few spots of rain on our way back from golf this evening.

Ben had a very good front nine today but not so good on the back and he ended up getting the same number of points as yesterday. I did not play quite so well today and ended up with 2 points less than yesterday so Ben won again. We have one more round booked on Sunday before we return on Monday.

Today we were joined by 2 Canadians who did not know each other until today. Jason was younger and he hit the ball a long way. The other one was Doug who hadn't played for 6 months because of a shoulder injury. He was older (71) but when he got going he also hit the ball a surprisingly long way. I felt very much the one who was unable to hit the ball a long way but they tolerated me! They were pleasant to play with and good company.

Sea Riding!
On the way back we stopped to take pictures of horse riding in the sea - we thought Emma, Evie and Connie would be interested!





Mangrove Snapper


After supper Ben went for a short fishing session as it was soon going to be dark.  On his last cast he caught a large Mangrove Snapper which was big enough to provide a good meal for both of us.  As we are already provisioned until we leave he reluctantly let it go!!

Liz on the tee It was a lot cooler today when we got up. It was sunny but there was quite a strong breeze. By mid morning the wind had gradually subsided and by the time we arrived at River Run golf course it was very pleasant. The day gradually became warmer and by 4pm this afternoon the temperature was back up to the mid 70s.  We enjoyed the golf course. It was much tighter than other courses we played but interesting to play. Our partners today were from Michigan. We couldn't work out their relationship but Larry and Sandy seemed to play on the same course in Michigan. Larry apparently had major heart surgery 3 months ago and although his golf was disappointing for him, he managed to play 18 holes. Sandy was in a separate buggy with her friend Debbie who is recovering from having broken her ankle a year ago. She was still using a crutch and wasn't playing. Larry and Sandy's golf was mixed but they were slow. Ben spoke to the people who were playing behind us but they wer...

Our trusty 'RAV 4'  Steed The day started wet but it soon cleared and from 10am it has been a lovely sunny day. We had been told that the Roser church next door to us was having it's monthly breakfast so we decided to go and try it. The church has a very large footprint and was apparently set up as the first one on the island prior to any bridges being built. Because of this it elected to be non-denominational and welcomes people of any religion. The breakfast consisted of 2 pancakes, sausages, butter and syrup and we could have had biscuits and gravy as well! This afternoon Ben did some more fishing and I went for a walk on the beach. It consisted of beautiful white sand with a few people enjoying the sun and sea. I was out for about 2 hours and finally found my way back to the condo. Ben was reasonably successful with his fishing and added his catches to the next door neighbour's net to use as bait when he goes off fishing on his boat. This evening we were eating up t...
