BAHAMAS!!

We are in the Bahamas! We left Lake Worth at 4 a.m. and pulled into Old Bahama Bay Marina at the West End at 2:15 p.m. The trip was easy, water smooth, light wind. We pulled into crystal clear water, and very hot temps. Love it!!!

We saw 2 water spouts during the trip, which was very exciting! For anyone who doesn't know, they're twisters of water getting sucked up into the clouds. Not something you want to sail into, but cool to see. My picture below of the cloudy sky is just after....missed the shot. :( You can see the bands of dark still though.

We are cancelling our Verizon service for now, and will be getting a Bahamian phone service. Until then, we can get in touch via computer, google voice, or Skype.

After discovering that the gulf stream was flat...









Who knew that conch had eyes? Makes me think twice about whether I'll eat it or not...
