Wish you all were here........


We have been enjoying the island to the fullest and the weather has been absolutely the best we could ask for. We have been to beach party's, house party's and of course our own party's. Joe the manager here at the marina has been wonderful and has invited us to many events on the island. On New Years eve we went to a local place (just in front of our boat) that everyone gathered to listen to a band from Nassau. We met Joe's girlfriend Dorcus which happens to be the second person we've met with the name Dorcus so this was a conversation in its own, she is such a great person to hang out with and hope to meet up with in the future. One night they invited us over to their place for a cookout with some other homeowners of the island and a few people that work at the marina for Joe. This is Dorcus and Meeko, Meeko works for Joe and ended up driving us around alot (what a great guy).
We have been to many beaches, trying not to stop at the same ones twice. We even had a great time going out for conch this morning, we decided we would only get six or so, if we could even find the dam things. We found a place that on the map said grass and dry at low tide so off we went. It was a place near the cruise-ships. We watched the tide and decided to go right after high tide so it would give us a little time before we would have to either leave or sit there till we could move the dink with enough water under us. Once we got to the spot I started standing up so I could see more ground and in a matter of about five minutes we spotted our first conch, it only took about twenty minutes and we had our six conch and off to the beach to extract the critters and clean them.
Good news so far on the engine parts. Everything should be here Thusday..........

We give thanks everyday and think about the people that dream it and never do it.When we get to a point that we think we can't handle all the excitement we will come back and do the 9 to 5.

Hope Schyler likes the Koozie too.
