We've been sitting at West End in Old Bahama Bay Marina since Friday, March 1. We have a good Internet connection (which is very rare in the Bahamas) & have been diligently watching the weather forecast. The weather has been cold, cloudy & exceptionally windy, at least 20-30 knots from the northwest for days. It would be depressing, but it's better than being in New York. We take daily walks on the beach & go exploring by bike. The marina is pretty empty, so we rarely have Hooper on a leash, he loves being free to run the whole beach. The little beach bar & grill here is pretty good. I enjoyed coconut french toast this morning. The only bummer is we had our MasterCard number stolen & we're running out of cash. Very few places in the Bahamas take Discover Card or American Express ( that's what we have left to use). It's not easy finding an ATM in the Bahamas.
The forecast shows the wind & waves greatly decreasing on Tuesday, March 5. That is when we plan to cross back to Florida. Sure hope the forecast is right! If we can't leave Tuesday, the forecast doesn't look good for another week to make a crossing. Now that we made the decision to leave the Bahamas, I can't wait to get back to Florida.
Hopefully we are able to pull into the Sailfish Marina on Singer Island Tuesday afternoon. That's where the next blog will come from.
