... wanted to put a police force of ten on Farmers but they only wanted one policeman. It's all family down there! We listened to all these conversations surrounding us and laughed. Once we got downtown, we hopped off and walked Bay Street where the cruise lines came in. I was looking for the Rum Cake store and Dave checked out all the liquor prices. We walked about 8 blocks and found the store - picked up 6 little rum ...

... for their winter so quite a community develops over the 4 - 5 months, some of it good and some of it bad. The talk on the VHF radio is constant and sometimes a little rude, there are a few Radio Nazis out there who are so quick to jump on and criticise someone, they must have it in their hand permanently, just waiting to pounce... We ended up leaving ours off most of the time.... But for the majority it's good, there are numerous people helping ...

... re going to Highbourne and Allens (to check out the Iguanas) and then over to Spanish Wells for a while. Spanish Wells is on Eluthera and a totally different town than any of the other island towns. We'd like to spend a few days there and wait for a weather window to head up the NE Providence Channel to Little Harbor, Abaco. Not sure when we'll have internet again. So....that's it for now. God is Great! Life is Good!

... the area of Camp Driftwood. The Well There is a fresh water well on the island. It is a natural well, one of the best in the Bahamas, providing good water to visitors for more than a century and was a popular spot for sponging boats which worked the area in the early 1900's. We dinghied over to the beautiful beach and climbed the limestone path to reach The Well. Dave had ...

... I realized it's Saturday - we thought it was Friday! Day is beautiful, skies clear with a wind from the west. Next to us is a 40' Passage "Pelican" with a couple and their two kids. They are out on a 2-year cruise - homeschooling the kids. Right now their parents are visiting so they'll be in the marina until Tuesday then they're heading to the Exumas. They have Chris Parker weather so Chris ...

... wanted to use the substance again. We had a fast 3 hour sail with winds 10-24 knots on the beam with big rolling seas. We anchored at Manjack Cay in the south anchorage which had more shelter from the winds. There were about 8 boats there when we arrived. We anchored securely first time but Sea Mist and Jingles who arrived later both had trouble and had to reanchor. We launched the dinghy ...

... faiths but I was shocked at how similar the universal themes of each religion are. More to come as I learn more! And I will be learning more and going to class because if I miss more than one day he said we receive an F. After that class ended at noon I headed to lunch with one of my new friends Patricia. It was really fun to connect with her and talk about the class we just had together and to talk about our own experiences in the faith. I had ...

... few!!! I got the hang of the snorkelling after about 10 minutes so really enjoyed just floating around watching the fish and the coral. About 60 of us went, and they gave us bright life jacket things to wear so they could keep an eye on us. It must have been a funny sight all these yellow and orange things floating in the sea. I am sure it keeps the fishes amused!! When we got back from the ...

... lot. On the w*y b*ck to Stu*rt Cove, my 7yo woke up from her n*p full of energy once *g*in. Feeding the sh*rks w*s the most thrilling experience we h*d. We h*d dinner *t the M*gent*. We pre-ordered our food the d*y before when we booked our dinner. Our food consists of Filipino dishes: chicken *dobo, lechon k*w*li, p*ncit *nd si****ng n* b*boy. We w*ited *bout *n hour before we got served but worth it.

... off at Atlantis but we had no interest in visiting it. Maybe next time, though. Our main goal was to get some snorkeling in because their really wasn't much else to do around here. We had to walk a short bit uphill from the main road to the beach. We arranged for our driver to pick us back up. The water looked gorgeous. It's hard to ...
