Getting Ready to Leave



Wednesday May 8th
Today we went to Hope Town again.  Great day! We ate at Captain Jack’s.  We also bought one of Mr. Vernon’s key lime pies.

Thursday May 9th

We had to say goodbye to so many people during the last few days but today two people who have been here since we have had to leave.  Linda and Al were from Chicago.  Linda was the life of the dock and Al was always blowing the conch horn with Enny.  Tomorrow morning it will be our time to leave.  So today we will put water in the tanks, put the dingy on the davits, wash cloths and buy groceries for the trip home.  We went by Don’s and said good bye to him.  We also visited Johnny Cash and his sweet wife Rapeepan. Jack wanted to but a painting from Johnny.  The people here are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.  They are always happy and seem content.  Who wouldn’t when you live in paradise.  We will leave at high tide in the morning which will be around 9:00.  My watch at the helm will be 8:00 – 12:00 am and pm, Jack’s watch will be 12:00 – 4:00 and George will take it at 4:00-8:00. It should take us between 68 and 72 hours to go from Marsh Harbour, Bahamas to Brunswick Ga.  The weather looks really good.  The winds will be where we can sail most of the way. We have had a wonderful trip.  Most of the time it was just the two of us and we really enjoyed the time together. We also have enjoyed the people of Marsh Harbour, New Visions Ministry Church, and the many other cursers we have met.  We have two special friends at Marsh Harbour, Rey and Bill, both of which have helped make this trip very special.  It is always bitter sweet to leave.  We are so blessed!
