The wind always seems to blow stronger at night!
Here it is...4:00 am Christmas morning and the wind is blowing through the rigging like nobody's business. I just got up to check and make sure all the boats around us are still where they were the last time I checked. Now I'm wide awake! This is the downside to cruising. So now that I'm up......
If someone said we'd have visitors fly in and fly out for a lunch visit I would have never believed them. What a treat it was to meet our good friend Kevin on Friday. Lucky for us he has friends with planes who were looking for an excuse to go flying. It was fascinating to watch as these two sporty amphibious plans landed at Staniel Cay airport. It made me giggle to watch as other people, who were waiting for their flights, raise their eyebrows as we walked out on the tarmac to meet them. For us, it was a very cool experience indeed! To be able to fly in one those would be amazing! Kevin, you're a lucky dude!
It was just a short walk to the yacht club where we enjoyed a delicious lunch with fantastic ambience and after lunch they were off again. Now that's the life! We feel so fortunate to have had a little taste of it.
Later that same afternoon we sailed from there to Black Point Settlement where we are now. Most cruisers transiting the Exuma Cays stop here and for two main reasons.....Loraine's restaurant and the laundromat! We also discovered that there is a wonderful beach on the ocean side of the island. Grace, Ken, Pat, Lynn, Harley and I spent a pleasant Christmas Eve day together. However, as beautiful as it was, it doesn't replace our family that we are missing terribly right now.
Today many of us cruisers will be celebrating Christmas together at Loraine's and it promises to be great fun .....
but more about that....next time.
Merry Christmas mom and Dad. Looks like youa are living it up. Say hi to kevin for me aswell.
