My Island WiFi

Toward the end of the season last year we heard about a new service, My Island WiFi, that enables you connect to the internet. We didn’t have much time left in the Bahamas at that point so we made a mental note to check it out this year. The service allows you to rent a small hotspot device that provides unlimited 4G data. You can link as many as six devices to it through WiFi. We have linked our iPhones, iPads and Kindles. Since the data is unlimited we can stream videos, download documents, and update apps, things we didn’t do before unless we were somewhere that provided WiFi. In prior years we purchased data from BTC two gigabytes at a time and we were very stingy with the data. We have been delighted with My Island WiFi. The cost is $75.00 per month and is well worth it to us. 

We liked the anchorage here at Bennett’s Harbour well enough to stay another night. The water is incredibly clear and beautiful. This morning we dinghied over to the harbour but it got very shallow very quickly so we turned around and came back to get our snorkel gear. We then dinghied south about a mile to the beach on the north side of alligator point. We beached the dinghy, swam to a small reef next to some rocks, and out to a larger reef farther from shore. The small reef near shore was actually better, it had more coral and fish. We walked the beautiful, secluded beach before returning to Breeze On. We hope to sail to the southern end of Cat Island tomorrow.

Other end of beach.  The good snorkeling was near the rocks on the right. 

I tired to catch the green flash at sunset but didn’t capture it.
