Friday
With a busy yesterday, first thing this morning I went
online and figured out the best way to get to Boston. For $2.00 I can get to South Bimini on the
water taxi which docks a stones throw from our slip. Another $3.00 will give me a ride to the
airport. Of course we could take the
dinghy down and save $2 but I’d much rather pay the money.
We visited Maureen’s boat Manatee and got a tour of her Sailrite
sewing machine. Only 2 years old, it was
made of sturdy metal with a stainless steel wheel addition which enables it to
be powered by hand if electricity is not available. Sweet machine.

Next we had to visit Radio Beach for snorkeling before the
winds get here and makes snorkeling lumpy, bumpy, and generally downright
unsafe. On the way home we walked north
into Bailey Town in search of Nathan’s Bakery where we secured a loaf of
coconut bread, eating a third of it on the return trip.
Of course we had to stop for lunch at “A Taste of Heaven.” Along the way we met a young couple off a sailboat who were having lunch at a seaside picnic table and exactly copied their choice for lunch (only thing on the menu) which was takeout of spicy rice & beans, coleslaw and crayfish salad (lobster). It was washed down with pineapple soda, a first for us.

The evening: relaxing
on the aft deck with dinner followed by a glass of cold white wine. Having refrigeration is nice. The rain came at 7pm just as predicted. The mosquitoes drove us inside at dusk but
after about 30 minutes we were back outside again with no bugs. Life is good.
