Downtown Fernandina

 I am in love with downtown Fernandina.  Humor found everywhere!

On the dinghy ride to the dock we passed this fishing boat,  I don't know what he is telling his family but I don't think he is fishing!  Seek and find the clue!


Can you guess the two streets where this restaurant is located?


I actually took this picture before I saw the guy hired to play a pirate at the festival who had an actual peg!  Great casting agent!


This guy was fake unlike the one in Roatan!
Can you believe this guy was real?  I actually sat on his lap!!! (2017)


$45 for a skull of a pelican?!?

Clowns = creepy

Reminds me of ny high school geometry teacher.


Foo dogs - placed correctly in your home and you are protected.  I'll go with Fenway!




Is this politically correct to charge $75 for Indians?  Marc, do you still have yours?


Cat phone - not bat phone!


Birth control!  


'What's up fool?"  I don't know what he does but his attitude says Planet of the Apes is coming.


So ugly they are kind of cute.

Apparently Ponce DeLeon brought bulls to Fernandina.  I'm just not sure this is a fitting tribute.  


The last kid who drove bumped something!

Some positions to aspire to as we age.



Reminds me of the movie "Big".  And no we did not get our fortunes told.  May still go back though.  Very tempting.



As if they were not creepy enough small.  These were life size!


As much time as I spent in the principle's office, I do not remember a bar!  Seriously though, they did a beautiful job renovating the school into living space.



Self explanatory!  I want one for my yard!  In Maine where no one will see it!


I feel like people who need this warning probably do not read.


The end.  (I saved other pictures for another day.  There were soooo many!)  Overall a great day in a new city with a lot of friendly people!

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Happy (Belated) Birthday Rebecca!

Image
 I hope your day yesterday was everything a birthday should be at 23!  We love you and are happy you are part of chaos household!  💖  I apologize for being a day late!   Today we had some success and some failures.   Successes = trip to church with donate, dump with garbage and trash, lumber yard for one board needed for the bathroom, washer works well and it was warm enough to dry two loads on the dog run, sanding in bathroom is complete, walls all have second coat, dinner was great (Paul cooked) and tonight we sleep on bed sheets dried in the fresh air! Failures = the dryer is broke (I tried to dry the blankets thinking they would never dry in the cooler air), and the closeline Paul tried to hang is too stretchy (better line ordered). While in town we saw this van (also dropping off donates): And it is World Gratitude Day. People I love:  so many, here are a few:                   ...

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...
