Friday morning Kinvara was ready to leave the dock by 7:30 AM. We had to fuel up with diesel first so our exit was 8AM. Finally on our way to Eleuthra Island. Originally we were going to the Exhumas but the wind and wave action was better for Eleuthra. It also seemed more convenient for part of our crew to return to Nassau for their flight next Wed. The weather is beautiful, sunny with 10-15K winds. Arrival in the little harbor was apx. 3PM. Peter and Willy immediately took the dingy around to check out the facilities & find internet. Liz and Pat went swimming while Jane sat with Pretzel. The day ended with gin & tonics, pork chops on the grill, and an early bedtime.
Saturday started out with rain showers but quickly cleared. We came ashore to walk around, found the internet cafe which opens at 11AM (island time), a grocery store, clothing store, and hardware. Each store would fit into a walk in closet but they are fully stocked with most anything you might need. Liz, Patricia, and willy are walking to a beach and Peter and Jane are doing laundry on the boat. The laundromat was full (everyone does laundry on Sat.). Peter got updates on weather through the SSB radio with Chris Parker, our weather router. We have no phone or internet service on the boat. This blog is brought to you courtesy of "da spot", the local bar and grill. The roof is made from palm fronds and the walls, well there are none!! Welcome to the islands. It's not Cub Med but we are finding fun. Tonight it's dominoes and Willy's mojitos.
