Yesterday was the winter Solsitce -- 1st day of winter. Not bad here in the Bahamas. The picture of me is on the Bluff House Beach with New Plymouth in Green Turtle Cay in the background and the Sea of Abaco. Not bad. High was 75 and a low of 70. Eat ytour hearts out northerners!! The living is easy that's why I don't update every day now. We moved over to the Bluff House Marina yesterday but today we needed to do 2 weeks of laundry in their "new facilities". It was a disaster. They had 3 working washing machines out of 4 and NO working dryers. We were besides ourselves. The docks are not friendly to sailboats for egress and this was too much. I checked out and moved BACK to the more expensive Green Turtle Club to dry the clothes and wait out the coming severe weather which apparently is becoming less severe and taking longer to get here. Bubbles and Skat also checked out and moved over here. Ohh well it is only money and the entire Carolina Contingent is again together; Victoria Gaye, Bubbles, Skat, Temptation, and High Flite on the hook just a stones throw away. The laundry and moving marinas took way too much time but that's cruising somedays. I was able to get another swim in the atlantic though. Beautiful beach and just a bit too cool water but great nevertheless. This morning I heard distance drumming around 4:30am. I learned later that there was a tradition here of folks beating drums between 4 and 6 am to "awaken the Christmas spirit". I hoped it worked. Lots of decorations and Christmas music abound even though this looks like the tropics.
