Eli arrives, sand and sail

Eli found this cave on the east end. The waves gnashed a bit too much to venture inside, but it was very colorful to watch from outside when the turquoise water recoiled from the shelves of urchins and sea creatures. The sand was so aerated and soft that you could sink in almost to your calves

Here are some of the youth sailors I'm teaching on the AYSC's Optimists. They're sailing south in Road bay, towards the 'big wharf' where groceries, cars and other things make their way to Anguilla. The previous week was tricky because it was the first time the wind didn't come directly out of the East. The wind comes from the east so consistently, that it was pretty funny to watch the young sailors adjusting their standard sailing routes. It was as if they had to alter their entire world view. Up is down, left is right!
