| Scott Free under sail with our dingy on the davits and our kayak up at the bow - taken by Jim on Emerald Seas |
 |
| Russ Wolf came for his annual and much appreciated visit |
 |
| Russ is right at home on Scott Free now and pitches right in |
 |
| We spent lots of time out in reef islands exploring and of course, lots of swimming and snorkeling |
 |
| Here on Tobacco Caye |
 |
| Party time at Hideaway Caye in the Pelican Cayes |
 |
| Dave on "Cordelia" |
 |
| Lovely Uli on Toriba |
 |
| Scott and her husband Thomas - we visited them in Bavaria last summer |
 |
| Dave & Pat from "Ten Year's After", Renate, Heather and Jim play Mexican Train Dominos at the Paradise Hotel |
 |
| Jim and Renate with some conch they hunted down. Renate made them into conch fritters that evening - Yum! |
 |
| We found the most amazing tree covered with orchids on a remote Caye out on the barrier reef. I'm not going to tell you where! |
 |
| There were hundreds of gorgeous white orchids on it |
 |
| Unbelievable |
 |
| Emerald Seas afloat in a world of blue water and sky |
 |
| Jim cleans conch and fish - a messy job |
 |
| A local fisherman in his dugout spends the day hunting fish and conch |
 |
| This fisherman was better equipped to travel far |
 |
| Jim and I took his dinghy out on the reef to take pictures of both the fishermen, the water and a wreck |
 |
| This old freighter is now in several big pieces over the reef |
 |
| And the birds enjoy the perches it provides |
 |
| We found it fun to photograph. Getting there was a bit of a job as the water was so clear it was hard to tell how deep it was. |
 |
| This is the "mother ship" for 6 fishermen who live on this tiny boat for up to a week at a time. A charter boat at the end of their week gave us a ton of food they hadn't eaten. We shared it with these fishermen and I think they hadn't eaten so well for a long time. They especially appreciated the meat and cheese. |
 |
| Jim took this dramatic picture of a big ship at sunset. We saw a lot of them, particularly cruise ships, from our anchorage at Terniffe Atoll |
 |
| As I can't dive any more due to my lung surgery, Scott now buddies with Jim and Renate |
 |
| And in this dramatic picture by Renate, his buddy is a huge tarpon! |
 |
| Dinner on the beach at Ranguana with Marsha & Rick on the left of "She Wolf" and Dave & Pat on "Ten Year's After" |
