Clement

 Another great word of the day - clement - neither too hot or too cold.  That was the weather today.  Absolutely perfect.  Perfect for cutting the grass.  I may not miss raking leaves but cutting the grass, I have always enjoyed.  The smell, the before and after, and the workout.  Perfect for doing errands with the windows down.  We are still purging, gathering supplies for the bathroom reno in Maine and trying to remember everything we forgot to put back on the boat!

I thought I would share older pictures of the kids enjoying clement weather!

Through the years we have been lucky to enjoy so many beautiful days.  But we have also learned that cold days, rainy days, super hot days  and icy, windy days all have their purpose and can be made into their own "perfect" days.  Here's us enjoying inclement weather!

                                                Megan - two umbrellas are better than one!

                                               Kevin and Megan - never too cold to ride a bike

                                                     Megan learning to accessorize with an umbrella!

                              Megan and Kevin - naked with popsicles - the only way to beat the heat!

                                            Kevin learning the Easter Bunny comes rain or shine!

                                                Kevin on a cold, windy lake day!

                           Scott (who can barely move in his winter clothes) playing in the "white" sand

                                        Megan and Kevin on the swings that cannot move due to the deep snow

                                                    Megan who did love to play in the rain

                                 Scott and Kevin - beaches are just as fun in the cold and wind!

Here's hoping there are many more clement weather days in our future!

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:        ...

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...

West End, Grand Bahamas

 Today we needed a change of scenery from the marina.  So we headed to the west end of the island.  After stopping at the pharmacy for Sudafed (still can't hear) and the post office we drove to Paradise Cove.  Highly recommended for snorkeling with the turtles, we were excited.                                               We arrived at low tide and after a safety briefing                                                         (where to step and not step) we were off.                                                 A single ...
