... under the boat and swirl us around. Then you'd get the errant wave that broke over the stern and then the ones that broke over the bow! (Get your buckets out-splash some water on each other to get the effect!) (Note: We have yet to take the two reefs out of the main sail. This new sail is 10-15% larger than the original one so we set two reefs when we left Bimini and have not taken them out! Still we're sailing 6.5 to ...

... 5/can and pretty scarce! Cheetos Story When we chartered in the BVIs, I was craving Cheetos and couldn't find them anywhere on the islands. The next time we chartered, in my little carry-on, I packed two bathing suits, two pairs of shorts, one sundress, 4 tee shirts and 20 bags of Cheetos and assorted snacks. That was for one week. For this trip I brought 10 large cans of Cheetos among other snacks. They're allll gone! Anyway ...

... in the Bahamas. She has about 15 new washing machines and 15 new dryers. It is so clean ...it really is the nicest laundry in the islands. Rockside has a dinghy dock so it will be convenient tomorrow to come in and do laundry if the winds and waves calm down. We popped our heads in to buy some tokens and met Carolyn and Robert from Moondance ( a 27' Vega.) They had the mooring ball in front of us (or behind depending on tide) at ...

... a 7' draft (owned by the French woman who rescued Dave) and that's as far as they went into the pond. We went to bed around nine. I was ready around 7:30 but figured I'd then be up at 4AM! The boat was hobby horsing when it wasn't rocking side to side so I moved to the salon and gave Dave the whole v-berth to get his body right with the movement. Woke up around 2AM to quiet and little ...

Dieses Wochenende war eine Cruise auf die Bahamas geplant. Wie sich auf dem Weg zum Hafen herausgestellt hat, aber auch das Zelebrieren des Springbreaks. Mehr muss ich dazu glaube ich nicht mehr sagen, hätte lieber mehr von den Bahamas gesehen... P.S.: Am Sonntag war Zeitumstellung und heute morgen bin ich das erstemal ohne Sonne im Gesicht aufgewacht. Das nervt...

... the plug rather than the actual sensor which looks the same as the plug but has a wire on it - Duh) We had a soak in the hot tub at the marina swimming pool and then had drinks on board Rafiki with Dave and Christie from Sea Mist. Another early night after a good meal on board. Today the wind is still quite strong from the north but we think we can have a day at anchor at Manjack Cay before the next lot of fronts come through and we move onto Green Turtle Cay.

Here are some San salvador pics. Here is a pic now on the left. Now here is a pic on the right. This was a neat house. The family living in it was very nice and was selling wooden figures.

Well its my last day in the Bahamas and I cant believe how quickly it has gone. The Islands are absolutely beautiful, with white powder for sand and crystal clear waters, but I realised this week that this country is definitely a destination for groups - good friends, families and most popular, the couples. That's okay but. I've still had a great time, just haven't really had a chance to make any new friends this week. I met a few Bahamian guys and ...

... you are going to look like a pro! Once your cruise is booked, all of your documents will arrive in a rather thick packet in the mail. Don't panic! It looks much worse than it is! Please do read everything thoroughly, but a once over on most documents will be all that is necessary. There is a lot of detail in your cruise documents concerning legal obligations of both yourself and the cruise line regarding issues like lost luggage,illness while on the ...

worked out that Bahamas was the week after D.R.- awesome. came here to do shark diving with Stuart Cove. we sat in a circle on the bottom while chainmail-clad feeder gave Reef sharks fish heads on the end of a stick- lateral fins brushed my neck as the swam by
