Wow. Day 75. Really? In many ways it feels like we just got out here, and in others we feel so comfortable like we’ve been doing this forever. Time yields odd perspectives sometimes.
Nonetheless – Happy Valentine’s Day! We did manage to save a little chocolate so we could celebrate in style today. Even saved the last package of bacon to have a tasty breakfast cookup.
Today was about friendships more than a Bahamas vacation. After yoga on the beach to start the day (for Emma at least. Henry played and Tina worked), we spent time reminiscing with old friends Laurie and Francis from 2004 that are still sailing the 49ft catamaran they built. So much to catch up on! We also got more time on Mojo (another owner-built catamaran) before our pending departure. Nice to have met some new good friends on this trip. Then this afternoon some of the kid boats from up north finally made it down and pulled into the harbor. Bliss, Mohini and Sunshine all appeared and we spent a fun evening catching up on the beach and letting kids run free. A few were dancing to Bahamian tunes on a small stage, others were on the rope swing, and good times were had by all.
Sad to leave with so many friends here, but 9 days among the nearly 300 boats in George Town’s “country club” atmosphere is apparently our limit. We are refilled on water, food, fuel and ready to return to the outlying Bahamian islands. Looking forward to swimming and snorkeling again soon!
If the weather holds, the anchor’s up in the morning and off we go!
Fun Afloat
