Mark, Barb, Roger and I are definitely in "Island Mode".....enjoyed a very relaxed day. Mark and I exercised, had breakfast and he had a few boat jobs to finish up. We read and did computer stuff. Met Barb and Roger for lunch at Green Turtle (another winner) and then we all wanted a nap and just hang out till 4. Had planned to take the dinghies out for a little jaunt on the water; however, 4:00 came, and we decided "nah....not today, just gonna chill some more - we're all into good books, and so what the heck....there's always tomorrow!
We have so enjoyed our time here on Green Turtle and the Bahamians are so very friendly and everything, so clean! We heard about all the destruction that Irene wrecked on the Bahamas. And then she hit the Carolinas and continued on up the east coast where we were last August and had to evacuate to PA. This area has been hit hard in recent years by various hurricanes.
The flowers are so pretty....lots of hibiscus and bougainvillea
Beautiful blossoms
Enjoying some awesome drinks, too...."Spanish Fly", "Goombay Smash",
"Tipsy Turtle Rum Punch".
Something we found interesting was the seaweed that washes onto the beach is raked and used for mulch around their landscaping. It is dark brown with tiny orange seeds and is very crunchy to walk on!
Lots of boats from all over are around us - Massachusetts, Virgina, New York, Louisiana, Delaware. When boaters cross the Atlantic and cruise in the Bahamas, they usually have a boating buddy to travel with - for safety and companionship. We could not have better buddies than Barb and Roger. We are all thoroughly enjoying our time together and this spectacular environment!
Dinner at Green Turtle and then enjoyed the music of "The Gully Roosters" who have been playing Bahamian music together for 34 years. We danced under the stars with the tiny white lights
on the trees......aaahhhh
"Just another day in Paradise"...
