What a Difference a Month Makes

Today began in the ocean in international waters. We were both up and in the cockpit. We were about to go into the Gulf Stream. The moon was nearly full so we could always see a horizon.  

I was having mixed feelings, happy to be where my phone was workable and did not cost extra to use and where there is always milk & bread at the grocery store and there is a roomy frig to put food into after you buy it, and sad to leave the lovely people and beautiful waters of the Bahamas. We will likely be back. 

It was more expensive than  I expected. Everyday things cost 2 to 3 times what we normally pay. 

We had an easy crossing but did have to motor the whole way. As we came down the ICW to the place we anchored before we saw a lot activity, in the water and on shore. We also saw boats anchored opposite the anchorage off the waterway. Apparently they were just disassembling the making of a boat show. We were not sure if we could use the same dinghy docks or not. We called the city hot line and they said of course. 

We anchored with some crowding and dinghied to shore. Lee got his glasses fixed, the store my phone was repaired in left, so Lee did not get his new charging cord for his i pad. But we did go to the grocery store. We returned to the boat intending to nap and go back in the evening for dinner with Handleys. The nap never happened. We did get our reentry stuff taken care of and did go back and to town for fish. 

We came back to the boat to plan tomorrows travel. Plan A & B depending on what Chris Parker says. We then turned in since we were both sleep deprived. Tomorrow is onward and upward. 

Live like every day is your last. 

Share the love.
