All Is Well

Have no fear, everything is fine with us and we have been doing a lot of everyday projects, a few days of sailing Suja, and of course, taking care of sailing club business. Bummer...still no one has taken photos of us zooming around the harbor in our green daysailer though.

We did go to a beautiful Bahamian wedding last Saturday. Our marina managers' daughter got married at the Hope Town In and Marina, and there were many very prominent locals and relatives from neighboring islands and Nassau in attendance. We were honored to have been included and although we didn't think we would know anyone, it ended up that we did, plus we met a few new people too. It was a lovely evening.

Yesterday there was a VBIC (Very Brief Informal Cruise) planned for lunch at Cracker P's on Lubbers Quarters. Some of the Abaco Dinghy owners decided to sail their boats down, but when we left, there was no wind. Instead, we loaded up the kayaks in the skiff and anchored off the restaurant beach. We kayaked down to the southern end of the island, and across to Cuby Jack Cay, a tiny barrier island on the cut to the ocean.


Heading back north to Tahiti Beach, there were lots of boats on the sand spit. A busy day of shelling for the tourists.

We made it back across to Cracker P's just in time for lunch, and in fact we were #2 for our orders...thankfully! About 60+ members showed up and the place was packed.

Meanwhile the wind had picked up from the north...something not predicted at all. We were really glad we were in the skiff, although it was a bit difficult getting back to the boat with the kayaks. Dave came back later to see if the Abaco Dinghies needed assistance, but they all made it back to Hope Town on their own.

Now it's time for more adventures with the Gibbons family that are in town this week, and there are two races scheduled. It should be a fun time so stay tuned!
