Day 19 – A windy day in the Bahamas – Thursday – 12/20/18
We were all hunkered down ready for the start of the “bad weather” but we ended up with a gorgeous sunny, though very windy, day. It was still nice and warm so kids could swim, play on the SUP’s and have fun swinging off the neighbor’s boat using their spinnaker pole. We got permission from the private property owner to use their docks and go for a long walk back to the ruins to explore further. All the kids would have stayed all day! We only have 4 boats anchored here but they are all such nice people and it is so fun to have 1 other ‘kid boat’. Henry and Emma both got to practice their radio skills calling over to Eden and Celeste on S/V Bliss.
It doesn’t feel much like Christmas when wearing a bathing suit in warm weather. The kids do have a little tree with a count-down on it and they sure enjoy their Advent chocolate calendar each morning. This morning they got to decorate their Gingerbread house (At last! They have been asking to every day since we got it in Stuart!). I must admit I can barely remember the presents I bought and wrapped in November and have packed away somewhere on this boat. Tonight we watched the 1969 version of Frosty the Snowman. Supposedly we will be getting some slightly ‘frostier’ temperatures this weekend – 55F in the mornings?! We’ll see!
