Happy New Year Everyone!
It seems an odd coincidence that we began 2018 on a vacation trip to Amel with Reid and Rheta and now we are also ending 2018 in the Bahamas on Amel!
We woke up to unforecasted clouds and showers that quickly gave way to another sunny tropical day. Today’s highlights – swimming with a manatee, “hiking” through the jungle to a pristine beach on the atlantic side, and flying the stunt kite in a fresh breeze. Humans on megayachts provided the afternoon entertainment – gasoline powered jet surfboards, electric sea-bob devices which let you snorkel without kicking and of course: 60mph jet skis. As usual, they all left early and we had the place to ourselves at sunset. We’re looking forward to meeting some more like-minded sailboats in the Exumas – all these massive motorboats are a bit much!!
Fun Afloat
