Mapping

 Today we continued with chipping branches and felling trees.  The weather has been so cooperative we are taking advantage!  I have completed the path rehab up to Scott's bridge.  I was not tempted to try and walk across - too crooked and sketchy.  The stream  continues to run underneath and looks real mucky!



Using Map My Walk App I was able to plot most of the path.  The green dot is where our backyard meets the far end of the path (inaccessible at the moment).  The bridge is where the red lines loop back on themselves.  Now I just have to connect the two.  The red dot is the house.  The blue arrow is the site for the new garage.



And look what I found while perusing the app!


While at work one night (2021), I decided to "map my rounds".  More than 5 miles later I returned to the office for paperwork, phone calls, etc.  My total steps for that night - 37,000.  Crazy.  

Today's holiday - Defy Superstition.  Having been born on Friday the 13th - I have no superstitions.  Not that I go around breaking mirrors or walking under ladders!  And fun word - triskaidekaphobia - the fear of the number 13!  (There is literally a word for everything!)

Also Roald Dahl Day!  I loved James and The Giant Peach as a kid and read it so many times.  And of course - Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.  Even the movie versions of the story - both - I can watch again and again.  Such imagination!

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:        ...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.

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...
