Thanksgiving Day at Spanish Wells, Bahamas. We spent the morning dropping off garbage in town, buying diesel, walking in town and on the beach and visiting a few stores. Even though they don't celebrate our Thanksgiving holiday here in the Bahamas, everyone in the shops wished us a happy Thanksgiving. They really seem to enjoy Christmas, though. The stores were doing a brisk business selling sparkly Christmas decorations. We heard Christmas music in the stores and on the radio. A nearby restaurant had its Christmas tree lit and many houses had lots of Christmas decorations out.
It was cool, cloudy and windy in the morning but sunny and warm in the afternoon. Once again we were wearing shorts and short sleeves. We used the Iridium Go to call my mom and brother as they were finishing their Thanksgiving dinner with friends and neighbors. We had a brief, lovely FaceTime chat with our daughter, her boyfriend and the rest of the folks who were at my uncle's, where we normally celebrate Thanksgiving. It seemed strange not to be with there with them.
We celebrated the holiday by inviting our new friends, Jean and Michael on Desiderata, over for chicken enchiladas. We had a great time talking about sailing (of course!) They were part of the ARC Bahamas group and we have been on a similar schedule since arriving in the Bahamas.
