A Thousand Words

     I don't claim to be a prolific writer or even an award winning blogger.  I just try to convey to family and friends how much damn fun we are having as full time cruisers here in the Bahamas.  Take for example this past week, we meet 2 fellow cruisers from, well let's just say they fly ol' glory on their boat and would like to remain anonymous.  We'll just call them Romeo and Juliet.  It was by chance that we had meet them.  We had just anchored at Lee Stocking Island south of the Caribbean Marine Research Center and one thing lead to another and for the next week we did it all.  We went snorkeling numerous times, moved the boats to Barraterre to watch the New England/Baltimore football game. Romeo left the the Same Ol Place bar feeling quite depressed over the Ravens' loss.  Happy hours and dinner parties were always on top of the list.  But all good things must come to an end as they were expecting guests flying into Georgetown, Bahamas.  Romeo is very knowledgeable about everything Bahamas and with a little coaxing he was willing to share that knowledge, and I took it all in; Thanks Romeo.  Juliet, in her own right is also very knowledgeable.  Sharon and Juliet had lengthy conversations while the guys were out doing what guys do best - acting like a couple of irresponsible teenagers.  I can't go into detail because I "signed a confidentiality agreement" with Romeo.
    Back to cruising - Sharon and I decided to leave Childrens Bay anchorage this morning and try a new navigation route that took us on the Brigantine and Galliot Banks instead of the Exuma Sound.  Some of the areas had very skinny water (not much depth) but our planning paid off with our arrival time at the questionable area and mother nature supplying high tide when she said she would.  Our bank route adventure was was very great cruise on a beautiful and sunny day in the Bahamas.  And because my writing skills leave a lot to be desired, I thought I would post a few pictures worth a thousand words.
