May 12

I know I said I had done my last post but just had to share several more.

We anchored off Great Sale Cay  in the Bahamas for a night in order to get an early start on Wednesday. Bo was able to dive the boat and change zinc and clean the grass growing off the bottom.
As we were getting ready for an early start 4 am Wednesday morning this was our last sunset in the Bahamas.
We had a great trip for the first day and about 11 pm that night then the Gulf Stream played its tricks on us and was nasty.  
Bo was able to fish again and you got it another Mahi.
We also had 2 travel companions, it was so funny. We have had these same birds before. One flew into the cockpit and checked us out then flew inside as the door was open and looked around flew back out and a little later brought his female friend with him, by then we had shut the door so they could not get in. Man they sat and waited to get in and just hopped around and would sit by us and then go back to the door and finally looked at us and flew away. It was almost like ok if we can't go in we will leave and never saw them again.
The last picture is of our morning off the shores of Florida.
We have truly had a blessed year in our travels and thank each of you for your notes and comments, it was great fun. We are now in St. Augustine for a month. Our friends on the 78 ft catamaran just came it and it is so exciting. We rented a car so we can go to Green Cove Springs for our mail, go to the grocery store and a few more errands.
Thank each of you again for letting us share out life with you.

May 2

Another day in paradise.

Today was our second day with a golf cart, yesterday we spent the day on Tahiti Beach with friends from LA. We spent part of the day looking around and part playing bocce ball. There was a wind surfer that we kept watching and what strength.
Bo and I were so tired we got back about 5:30 and were in bed or I was by 7:30 and Bo came about 9. 
Today we had the cart for 1/2 day and just the 2 of us went and stopped at Abaco Inn and had coffee, look at it on line oh my goodness I could just come and stay here.
We then saw some people that were walking and they asked if we had gone down the road by the electric company and we did and this is what we saw.
You went down a 1 lane street and on both sides they had carved our the huge cliff stones so you could drive through and you saw the water, it was a wow moment.

Better eat some lunch as 6 are coming for supper to have some of Bo's mahi.
