It's Sunday and the wind has finally started to subside. Thank goodness!
Several boats left the harbour this morning but we're going to wait until tomorrow. We're going over to Hope Town to spend a few days.
We took our fold up bikes to shore today to explore the island a bit more. Friday we rode them out to the Marsh Harbour International Airport to get tickets to and from Nassau for our flights back to the US in a couple of weeks. Man, were my legs burning. Today we rode in the other direction just to look around. We stopped at a small beach alongside the road and had a picnic lunch where we were visited by Zoey, a local girl of about 5 that was very cute and very talkative. Once another girl about her age arrived she was off to make new friends and we were left like yesterday's news.
As we were finishing our lunch several bus loads of people arrived. The beach was the location for today's baptism of two Haitian girls- wade out into the water and be fully immersed baptisms. It reminded me of my good friend T Moore's baptism at Lake Bardwell, a lake he and I have skied on a multitude of times. Some of today's service was in Creole so we didn't get much but we did stay to watch and congratulate the girls as they dried off.
Our latest new friends; Richie and Jane from Vancouver on Panthera. We had them over for a sundowner the other evening and have run into them several times in town. We got off to a great start when Susan spilled the pitcher of gin and tonic they had brought to drink. Oops, party foul.
That's it for now. I'll leave you with a couple of picture of the beach today. The pictures just don't do the water justice.
Take care.
Brian
