Where is your Silk Cay?

Mine is off the coast of Belize. A quick boat ride away from the town of Placencia. It's a about 100 feet long and 50 feet across and everything about it was serene.

I did generate some data from my time on Silk Cay. 50, the number of coconuts we opened up. 20, the number of bananas I managed to ingest in the 5 days we spent on the island. 4, the number of tents we stayed in while on the island. 3, the number of kayaks we used to get from cay to cay. I could go on in this vein for a while but it'd begin to sound utterly repellent.

 We left the island wanting more but in order to do that, I needed to burn my way right back into the heart of the City again and earn that time. I hope this blog will document some of my thoughts till I get back to Silk Cay, and can't get my hands on a wifi connection for love or money. Or bananas.
