This is Pretty Much What It's Like

The last day my family was in town we planned on spending another day on the boat. The wind wasn't great, but it was a beautiful day to be on the water.

Ben had to run down to Marsh Harbor to pick up the dingy motor (which needed to be serviced again - apparently there was water in the carburetor). So we got a little bit of a late start. We also stopped by Abaco Ceramics, and of course mom got the life story of the proprietor and Katie picked up a beautiful ceramic conch.

We tried to sail for a little while and it was nice to not worry about how fast we were going (3 - 3.5 knots) since there was no place we needed to be. We feasted on all the things left in the fridge that needed to be eaten - the rest of the canned ham, sliced turkey, cheese, and lettuce. We had some sausage on the boat, and of course fresh bahamian bread.








After lunch the wind died and we decided instead to head to Great Guana Cay. It ended up being an excellent choice. We moored on one of Dive Guana's mooring balls. We knew we'd only have about an hour to an hour and a half before we needed to head back, and mooring instead of anchoring saved time. Dive Guana, in normal island fashion waved the $15 fee when we told them we'd only be there for an hour. Between that, and the beautiful Atlantic beach, there is no question we will be back.




















We ended the day with a sunset cruise back to Treasure Cay.
