Visits

Since we arrived at Rock Sound we shared the harbor with just one other boat (and very briefly a third boat.) The couple in the other boat were away a lot so it took a few days for us to meet them. Yesterday, as we were coming back from a trip to the store, we saw someone on the back deck of their boat so we decided to stop and say hello. We had a nice chat with Craig and Nancy and they gave us some excellent tips for staying at a private dock near Lucaya, Grand Bahama. This morning, as we were sailing from Rock Sound to Warderick Wells, Exuma, Nancy shared a photo she took of Breeze On at sunset last night. 

A visitor came to our boat as we were cutting each other’s hair yesterday afternoon—a large barracuda. It eventually decided to hang out under the dinghy, usually with its tail hanging out. It reminded us of a game of hide and seek, where it wasn’t very well hidden, as in “you can’t see me!”

It was another calm morning in the harbor yesterday, just before sunrise.

The barracuda would move with the dinghy. 

Our Thanksgiving dinner at Wild Orchids was delicious. The turkey was wonderful and the macaroni and cheese, as well as the peas and rice, gave the meal a Bahamian flare.
