The weather has gone downhill since we arrived here on Monday. The wind blew at 15 to 20 knots all day Tuesday and through the night last night. We decided to move into the marina for the weekend as there is a more severe front coming through Friday night into Saturday. We will be saying goodbye to Liz on Saturday. She will be flying to Ft.Lauderdale and then driving back to our home in Solivita for a few days to do some shopping and packing for her trip home on the 16th. This is definitely the place for cruisers for the winter. There has to be between 150 and 200 boats moored and anchored here. As one of my friends said it is like been on a cruise ship without the ship. Every morning the radio announces the activities for the day. Volleyball on the beach, Yoga, Ham Radio Courses, Choir Practice, Church Services, etc,etc.
Our friend Dave Ball took Liz snorkeling today while Jane and I took care of business on the boat. Dave speared his first lobster of the season. I did not see it but he claimed it was 3+Lbs. For those of you who do not know, the Bahamas lobster is not like the New England lobster. No claws and the only part that is eaten is the tail. Liz is hoping to get a couple tomorrow for our last dinner together. If you are following the blog you would have seen a picture of some tails we had when Patricia and Willy were here with us.
