Limbo

 Limbo is where we are.  We are confirmed for delivery on Monday and the work crew should arrive shortly beforehand.  Paul widened the driveway a bit more today and then cleared the French drain outlet.  Situated in the side yard, it has been ignored for years and the trees had grown significantly.  So though cold, we did a bit of outside work.  Inside - some cleaning, reading, painting and baking.

Our walk before dinner - cold!  Beautiful!  



Today is National Indiana Day.  In February of 2015 Megan and I visited Indianapolis for a brief few days.  Beautiful and not really what I had envisioned.

                                Windmills for miles upon miles!


                                                Farmland I definitely expected.

                                                The White River Canal right through downtown.

                                                    Pretty impressive from the sky.

And they have two airports!  Who knew?  When it was time to head to the airport, I entered "airport" into the GPS.  Brought us to the airport in plenty of time.  The WRONG airport.  As soon as I realized, I sped up and headed to the right one.  Only the GPS had our arrival time past our departure time.  I called Paul to see if he could switch our flight - nope.  I broke a few speed limits!  We arrived, ran through security (almost forgetting my belt), continued running in socks to our gate and rounded the corner to a whole lot of bewildered people.  (Yes, we were those people!)  The gate was empty!  Ugh.  I was prepared to purchase new tickets at a later time.  Until one of the people staring at us pointed out - our plane had not even arrived yet!  Never so happy that a plane was soooo late!  Lesson learned - double check all addresses prior to entering in the GPS.

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...
