ANGUILLIAN RACING

0930 hours, April 5th, 2015, Road Bay, Anguilla: We headed north east  by dingy to a great snorkeling spot we had seen exploring the day before. Little Bay, the snorkeling spot we stopped at within Crocus Bay, had day moorings to tie your dingy while you snorkeled, which we used.  Little Bay was surrounded by high rock Cliff formations which had been carved by wind and sea over the centuries. Below the water the fish and coral were equally fascinating. 

On our way back we went out to Sandy Island, a small sand island about a mile north west of Road Bay. Sand Island had a beach bar and grill and ran a taxi service to Road Bay to bring patrons back and forth. There is a tricky reef surrounding the Island with only one way in and out on the west side of the Island. It took us a while to find it. 

The local Anguillian sailboat racing season started the Monday after Easter which was a holiday on the Island. Unfortunately we were leaving early that morning, but fortunately they were practicing coming in and out of Road Bay that afternoon. As the pictures show, everyone looked like they were having fun.
