This morning Chris Parker—on his morning webcast—said that the weather this week in the Bahamas was going to be splendid. Today certainly was. The sun was shining, we had just enough breeze to stay cool, and the humidity is lower than usual. We’ll take it. We started the day by taking the dinghy down to Long Island Petroleum to get a few more jerry cans of fuel. We have heard that there have been shortages of diesel here and we are concerned it may become worse after hearing that a tanker that services the Bahamas sank late on Christmas Eve. Evidently a 200 ft. mega yacht rear-ended the tanker sending it to the bottom of the ocean. The mega yacht did not sink but now has a hole in the bow. Next we cleaned the cabin of Breeze On then went for a brief, but lovely walk on shore. 
Yesterday was Christmas Day and we went to our friends’ boat for a delicious dinner. The food and company were fantastic. We will most likely be here a few more days before moving on.

I came very close to running into this huge spider web on the trail to the road.
Another big spider’s web. This one actually has the spider on it, albeit out of focus.
