Just wanted to write a quick
note to let you know we’re keeping busy here in the Bahamas.
Our last day in the Abacos included a walk on the beach,
complete with a “rental dog” who saw we were headed to the beach and being a
freethinking dog, decided to join us.

Here I am on the beach at Pipe Creek in the Exumas looking
for sea glass and other beach treasures.

The treasures included a new pair of beach shoes for Jerry.
Another view of the beach at Pipe Creek (sorry about the
tilt – if you live on a boat you learn that most of your life is a little off
kilter)

Jerry from Bluejacket, Jerry, and I went snorkeling. I had a wonderful time looking at the
life. Jerry and Jerry had a blast with
lobsters. Dinner, lunch, dinner,
lunch….lobster again?

Christmas dinner aboard Bluejacket with Donna and
Jerry. We sure do miss our families back
home….it’s nice to have an adopted family to cruise with.

I did remember to take more pictures of the fish Jerry has
been catching.

Our sailing ventures have taken us from the Abacos to the
Exumas.
We spent a number of days in Pipe Creek where we spent
Christmas and then on to Staniel Cay for New Years.
From the seclusion of Pipe Creek to the thriving development
at Staniel Cay where the locals were holding a regatta of sorts. (Thriving in the Bahamas= more than 20 locals
who live on the island year round.)
The traditional Bahamian sailing craft is a shallow draft
boat with little keel, lots of sail and pry boards for the sailors to sit upon
depending on the heel of the boat to keep it from tipping over. Our friend Jerry was aboard “Tida Wave” for a
sail.

We are currently in Black Point in the Exumas heading next
to Georgetown.
