Phase 2 - Progress

 Today was stunning with a gorgeous sun but chilly.  Too cold to paint the house as we had planned.  We managed to fill the day anyway!  

A successful trip to the dump.

Attempting to restore the water filtration uit back to functioning.  Somehow when we emptied it last trip, something in the computer went haywire.  Paul spent quite a bit of time on the phone with the reps and fingers crossed - it will begin to do its job again!

Vacuuming up all the flies that keep appearing and the ladybugs that are dying by the dozens!  What?!?  

Painting wood discs and completing Christmas cards.  Busy work that I truly do enjoy.  

Helping Mike decide where to place the corners of the garage site.  Then watching him dig the trench for the drains and bring loads of pipe and stone and begin the process of burying them.  

                                                Even Fenway enjoyed watching the construction!










We have a delivery date for the garage materials!!!  Of course Paul had to switch one of his eye doctor appointments but they were able to accommodate!  November 10th it is!  

The plan - hopefully paint the house tomorrow (forecast is warmer),  coordinate the forklift guy with the delivery date and continue to enjoy the crisp Maine air that is so delightful!  And maybe tomorrow we will have time for another game of Cribbage.

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...
