Mothers Day

5.9.11

We decided to splurge on Mothers Day - in honor of the fantastic, amazing women who we are proud to call Mom - and dinghied in to the local marina for lunch and some pool time. We had a delicious lunch, served by two charming local girls. The restaurant overlooks the small harbour and is very open, so we had a great breeze blowing through. After lunch, we started a load of laundry and then hit the pool. A freshwater pool! All to ourselves!! We stayed in the pool area for the two hours it took to finish laundry and then, feeling refreshed and clean, headed back to the boat.
We checked the chart to see where we would head next and decided we should fill up our stores of fuel, water and groceries before leaving this island, as most of the islands between here and the states are uninhabited. We took all of our jerry cans and filled up at the marina and readied the boat for tomorrow's sail.
We slept in a bit this morning and now Brad is at the grocer while I sit here typing our blog. We will have breakfast and then head West 5 miles to the next island in the chain. This island has been great – the people have been phenomenal, but we are looking forward to being on a deserted island with no one around to bother us. It is shaping up to be another gorgeous day and so far, the forecast for the rest of the week looks fantastic! Hopefully the weather will hold out for the remainder of our travels here in the Bahamas and we can enjoy the last few weeks of our trip.
