We normally find the Bahamas quite dry with episodes of rain every now and then. In the two weeks we have been here we have had rain most days. Some days we don’t see the sun at all. There hasn’t been enough sun for the solar panels to keep the batteries charged and we have already had to use the portable generator four times. During our past winters in the Bahamas we have used the generator just two times the entire winter. Today the sun came out for a few hours and it was a real treat. We took the dinghy ashore while the sun was shining and walked to the ocean hole. There were two other tourists visiting snd a couple of stray dogs, including one adorable puppy. As soon as we arrived the dogs ran up to us and sat down, clearly expecting some food. They followed us all the way back to the dock before finally giving up. 
My view this morning. I thought we were in for another day of rain.
Yay! The sun came out! We passed by the supply boat from the US at the government dock.

Cute little puppy.
Our only outing yesterday—during a break between squalls—was a brief dinghy ride over to our neighbors on Gemeaux to invite them over for sundowners. We had a very nice time visiting with them and it was the first socializing we have done—other than brief chats on the dock—since we left home a month ago. Shortly after they left we had a major thunderstorm that lasted all evening and most of the night. One bolt of lightning seemed so close that I checked to make sure the electronics on our boat were still working and, fortunately, they were.
