Sad Goodbyes

4.27.11

We woke up early this morning to get my parents back in time for their afternoon flight. Fortunately, the wind was exactly where it needed to be and we were back in no time at all after a wonderful morning sail. We took them in to the local grocery store where they re-provisioned for us and enjoyed looking at all the different Bahamian brands and items.
Afterward, we went over to the Jib Room where they were able to take long, hot showers and we were able to take a dip in their freshwater pool! It was a great refresher for us all. We had a delicious lunch and then said our goodbyes as we ushered them in to a taxi.
They were a tremendous help while they were here and we are going to miss our crew members! Who is going to hoist the sails and do the dishes now?! We were all surprised at how well they adjusted to boat life and I think they went home more refreshed than when they arrived – which is the point to a Bahamian vacation anyway!
