A perfect day in the Bahamas! We explored the famous ‘pink sand’ beach on the Atlantic ocean side of the island (incredibly soft sand – like baby powder), wandered through town (in daylight this time!), moved Amel 1 mile to Cistern Rock for our first official snorkel in the most incredibly clear water with so many fish and a turtle too. A Canadian friend of Tina’s told us about the snorkel spot and we met him and his family there. He grew up on the south end Harbor Island during the ‘50’s and has many stories to share. A brief 10mins motor back to the main island to anchor near South Bar Club – a much quieter and more scenic location than being right off the main town. We have a lovely beach near us and a big sand flat to explore at low tide. The wind is still cool, the sun is warm when not hiding behind clouds. The wetsuits were helpful to extend our snorkel this afternoon!
By 4pm, we were at anchor, clean from showers on deck, ready to finish decorating and getting ready for Santa. We all snuggled in to watch Christmas Chronicles movie – a perfect choice! The kids cabin has Christmas lights strung up, they have laid out their “santa hat” (an improvised stocking for this year on the boat), and the cookies and milk are out and ready to go.
Happy Christmas Eve to you all!
Love Tina, Mike, Henry and Emma
Fun Afloat
