7 April - Day #34. Can you say windy? It was rock and roll all night. Several of our neighbors' boats suffered piling rash. Apparently big winds are not unusual here at West End, heard stories of folks getting stuck here for as many as 10 days. Thursday still looks like good although we may get lucky tomorrow. Did a little exploring today. Walked south for a few miles though a lot of scrub and the occasional palm. Conch shells, with the tell tale hole of the chefs knife in the crown, litter the littoral. They dive on the left here although the steering wheels are on the same side as in the US. The speed seems to be more a function of the road condition than any posted signs. Lots of folks waved. A resort bus stopped to offer a ride; but, since that would kind of defeat the purpose of 'going for a walk', we declined. We were rewarded on our trek south with the discovery of a pub. It was after 4pm so we partook. Kalick (pronounced 'click') is a local beer; they were out. The bar keep recommended Coors Light instead. After a Guinnes we made our way back to Nellie. Dinner with Por Vous and Sea Island Girl. Coffee on Nellie. 0nm today; 1092nm total. DBH
