We're stuck - Part 2

Well, weather is not cooperating with us, so we're stuck in Nassau until at least Sunday. We had planned to head for Allens Cay this morning, but the route requires bottom reading, which requires good sunlight. Not happening today.

Things dropped overside... (updated 12/27/11)

...and retrieved:
Gregg's insulated mug
Gregg's Hope Town hat
Quinn's sweat rag
the dinghy - Quinn let the line loose and Gregg had to swim after it in water that was slightly cleaner than a flooded septic field
1 bucket (required a swim)
dock line
boat hook
40th birthday balloon
1 2-cup measuring cup
1 swim fin (Gregg's)
Legos (a heroic effort in strong current by Gregg)
1 Croc (Quinn's)
1 Teva (Jen's) - 3 times
1 flip-flip (Quinn's)
1 filled garbage bag
1 O-ring (from the water maker)

Bench seat and oar from dinghy while at sea, 12/27/11
Attachment for Quinn's hair clippers (during haircut on the dock)
Grill brush
plastic panel from bimini - followed by some colorful language
1 instant read thermometer (Jen's) that was being used to work on the port engine
10 ft. piece of line that we used as a preventer for the jib (it was being played with and got dropped)
1 toy wrench (lost during Antigua-BVI passage)
Another wine glass - again, unbreakable but not unsinkable
1 yellow lego - very traumatic
Part of Quinn's fishing rod (11-22-09, very sad)
