Discombobulated

 Today was one of those days.  Discombobulated.  Barely making sense.  And it wasn't just me.  I know Brianna was feeling it too.

She woke on her own and came out wearing everything pink, bad bed head and a talking pig - sort of.  Drop off at camp went okay.  Pick up - not so much.  Brianna was insisting on helping the teachers "clean up".  What?  You want to help the ones getting paid to clean when begging barely works at home?  And then the whining and clinging began.  We cut the after camp swim short and headed out.  The bliss of being grandparents and leaving before the final meltdown!

My splinter from Maine in my finger - stubbornly refusing to be removed.  A trip to CVS for Ichthammol ointment that will hopefully finish the task before my finger becomes more deformed.

The bank to replace Paul's missing debit card.  (Missing since January and we have finally remembered during banking hours!)

The Dollar Store for a light bulb.  Of course the bathroom light is out and there are no extra light bulbs in the house yet!

No rhyme or reason to anything today.

A nap on the couch with Maddie.  Except she insisted on lying between me and the back of the couch with her head under my neck.  I actually watched an entire movie in one sitting!  No nap though.

Taco salad dinner with Kevin and Isis.  At 730pm.  Perfect since this means I will not be tempted into snacking tonight!  And it really was too hot for anything but cold salad.

The weather is supposed to finally break tonight.  Hopefully tomorrow will make more sense!

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!

 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...
