Troubleshooting Our Alternator ; A Nurse Shark at Sandy Cay Reef

This morning Harry messed about with the alternator that is heating up and discovered that our  model likely missed the factory QA/QC. After sometime on the phone with the manufacturer Balmar, Harry has a replacement being flown in to Man-o-War Cay that should arrive on Tuesday.  Sarah cleaned the heads and did laundry, then we moved Juno to Sandy Cay to do some snorkeling.

Large surf was blowing in from the east through the Tilloo Cut but that didn’t stop us from snorkeling The reef was large and extensive, initially rather deep at about 20 feet but it shallowed to within two feet from the surface.  Upon entering the water, I spotted a five foot nurse shark almost underneath me. The reef fish were ones we’ve seen and visibility was a little cloudy - perhaps on account of the waves crashing on the reef through Tilloo Cut.  Afterwards, we snaked Juno through the shallow bank and anchored just north of Tilloo bank where the water shoals to about 2-3 feet in depth.  We enjoyed the quiet and barbecue chicken breasts on the grill for dinner.
