LAST CART TRIP DOWN THE DOCK


TODAY was the last cart full of “stuff” for Coyaba. We have been here one week and Paul has come out with me everyday to help provision and today he said “I can't believe it! This is the very last cart I have to bring from the car to Coyaba”. There were about 12 cart loads this past week!! We are ready to leave when Mother Nature allows. We will sit here at Sunset Bay until Sunday then off to Lake Worth; Monday, Hollywood, FL, then God willing, we travel the Gulf Stream on Tuesday for Bimini! Of course as any boater knows, one should never have a schedule as Mother Nature does not. We have guests arriving in Staniel Cay, Exumas January 25th, so ideally Coyaba should be there.


Our stuffed fridge, every nook and cranny
takes on new meaning when you're boater

BROMELIAD is my new “pet plant”. Remember last year's journey I had a mini Palm Tree, well I am nurturing a different plant this time. The plants are very unique and beautiful down here compared to Ontario's growing season for the summer. The “garden centres” are always open here!

A colourful plant, reminds me when we
went to destination resorts
Hull speed

Jibe
Course change which causes the boom to sweep rapidly across the cockpit; also, frequent type of comment made of observers of this manoeuvre. 

Lanyard
A light line attached to a small article so that it can be secured somewhere well out of reach.
