Free Water at our new marina!!

Left Bimini Wednesday Dec 8th at 11am headed North towards Port Lucaya on the Grand Bahama Island.  Waves were anywhere from 3 - 5 feet.  Cathy got a little sea sick!  McKenna did fine.  Nothing seems to bother her.  Weather and seas got progressively better and by the time we hit Port Lucaya the seas were very calm.  Port Lucaya is MUCH more developed than Bimini but we have FREE WATER!  Tons of restaurants and places to go.  We almost miss the seculsion of Bimini but it will be nice to get to a grocery store and re-supply some groceries.

Thursday was a nice relaxing day of exploring the island.  A new sail boat arrived at our marina Thursday night that had 2 children - Nicholas (7) and Naomie (10).  They are from Switzerland and a very interesting family.  McKenna is loving having some new kids to play with. 

Friday our family and the new family took our dinghys out to go snorkeling.  It was truly amazing.  The fish were so beautiful.  All different colors, shapes and sizes.  The fish must be use to being fed because they would swim right up to your mask!!  Saw one medium size fish that looked like a shark.  Luckily it was not but it gave Cathy a scare.

Friday afternoon we went to swim with dolphins.  The dolphins were named Indy and Andros.  Indy was 15 years old and his half brother Andros is 10 years old.  They were very entertaining and McKenna, Cathy and Terry loved the experience.

Friday night there was a big Christmas party in the village square.  They had clowns, dancers and all kind of entertainers.  The most amazing was a man that could go under the Limbo poll that was 18 inches off the ground!!  No kidding - it was quite a feat!

Pretty cool, huh?

Not sure when we will be heading home or if we will come home (just kidding).  Love and good wishes to everyone back home.  More later . . .
